Idaho National Laboratory has confirmed that layoffs have occurred at the facility, though the total number of jobs affected has not yet been disclosed. The announcement comes as the lab continues discussions about budgets and future program directions in the context of federal funding priorities. East Idaho News reports that details remain limited while INL leaders work to finalize and communicate next steps.
At REDI we believe it is important for the region to stay informed about workforce, business, and economic developments that may affect workers, families, and businesses in Eastern Idaho. As INL is one of the area’s largest employers in the region, clarity and transparency around workforce changes matter for both employees and the broader regional economy. This update reflects our commitment to sharing significant news with stakeholders across the region.
