Booz Allen Hamilton, a major government consulting firm, is slashing 2,500 jobs as federal spending tightens under the Trump administration. The cuts come as contracts dry up, and the company expects a 3% hit to its 2026 revenue—a big deal since most of its money comes from government work.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another round of layoffs—it’s a ripple effect from shifting political priorities. When the feds pull back spending, contractors like Booz Allen take the hit first, and thousands of workers pay the price. It’s a reminder of how tightly some businesses are tied to government budgets, and how quickly changes at the top can shake the ground beneath employees.
