[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think it’s going to amount to that much on a macro level (not downplaying the effect on families). I don’t think dc economy or real estate will end up that impacted. [/quote] Well, you're wrong. In December, there were 20,000 people unemployed in the District. So far, 75,000 federal workers have taken the buyout and hundreds of thousands could be laid off because they are probationary. Obviously only a fraction of them live in DC. But it wouldn't take much for the number of unemployed people to reach levels unseen in many decades. [/quote] How many of them live or work in DC?[/quote]
