Summary for Federal Spending Trends in the Washington Metropolitan Area, 2010-2013

• Federal procurement outlays declined 8.4% between FY 2010 and FY 2012 and are projected to decline 5.0% during FY 2013.

• Federal employment has declined by 13,600 or by 3.5% in 24 months between July 2011 and 2013.

• Federal payroll declined by 0.6% between FY 2010 and FY 2011, was flat during FY 2012 and is projected to decline by $2 billion in FY 2013; it will continue to decline slowly as the workforce shrinks (-16,100 federal jobs between 2013 and 2017) and as older workers retire and are replaced by younger workers.
