Summary

Trump’s mass layoffs of federal workers will impact communities nationwide, not just Washington, D.C.

While 23% of federal employees work in the capital region, the majority live elsewhere, with some districts relying on federal jobs for up to 7% of employment.

The administration has already cut 200,000 jobs, mainly targeting recent hires with fewer protections.

Experts warn these cuts could destabilize local economies, particularly in areas with military bases and federal agencies, potentially amplifying economic downturns in affected regions.
