California employs approximately 253,600 federal workers, which is 1.4% of its overall workforce, considerably lower than the national average. While this percentage seems small, the concentration of federal jobs in the D.C. area underlines the risk of economic disruption. The article emphasizes that even significant cuts in federal employment could ripple through local economies, particularly where federal jobs are more critical to overall employment.
