[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not terribly helpful for DC-based folks, but parts of the private sector are rejoicing about the deregulation happening in the fed.  Banking is booming, as is anything related to mergers and acquisitions (legal, accounting, firms that are ripe for expanding, etc.).  (The Biden administration scrutinized M&A quite a lot so as soon as Trump was elected, all of the firms in that ecosystem soared in stock value.). Energy is expanding-- partly because it will be easier to expand coal production, etc. and partly because AI requires a ton of energy.  So utilities firms are doing well (not sure if this amounts to hiring, though).

For other industries, it seems like there is a wait-and-see related to tariffs.  Many of these firms say that federal deregulation will help them expand but they're also wary about potential tariffs.  So these might have positions available--neither contracting nor expanding right now.  If his first term is any indication, whenever firms are hurt too much (e.g., when the stock market goes down), Trump adjusts.  So most managers are tracking this stuff carefully, but not really predicting a ton of hardship.  And those companies that are visibly sucking up (e.g. CEOs attended the inauguration) are probably going to be in good shape.

NGOs that rely on federal funding are obviously in bad shape.  But advocacy NGOs are likely to expand somewhat.
