The recent federal worker layoffs initiated by President Trump's administration will significantly affect communities across the United States, with over 75% of federal civilian employees residing outside Washington, D.C. Many districts, especially those with military bases and federal offices, rely heavily on these jobs, which contribute 5-7% to local employment. The layoffs, which may impact up to 200,000 employees, threaten to destabilize local economies, reducing federal expenditure and consumer spending, resulting in a ripple effect that could slow economic activity nationwide.
