Tens of thousands of federal employees would lose their jobs if President Donald Trump’s initial budget proposal became law, putting the regional economy at risk of a recession, experts say. The cuts would reverberate throughout the city, with fewer people riding the already-beleaguered Metro subway or eating at restaurants. It would also be a blow to the city’s already-shaky market for office space.
