Maryland Leads Nation with 15,100 Federal Job Losses Since January

Maryland loses 15,100 federal jobs since January 2025, leading nation in government workforce reductions. State unemployment rises to 3.6% as Trump administration cuts continue.

This massive reduction in federal employment directly impacts Maryland's economy, which has historically relied heavily on government jobs. For residents, this means fewer stable career opportunities, potential relocation requirements, and increased competition for limited private-sector positions. The loss of experienced federal workers with specialized skills could also affect the quality of government services that citizens depend on, from national security to healthcare administration. Additionally, the strain on state resources and potential cuts to federally-funded unemployment programs create broader economic vulnerabilities for the region.
