💨 Abstract

Northern Virginia business leaders have become increasingly pessimistic about the regional economy and their company's prospects, with 54% expressing optimism, down from 81% at the start of the year. The Trump administration's policies, including federal layoffs, inflation, and tariffs, are cited as direct causes for concern. Supply chain issues, federal procurement, and finding qualified talent are also challenges.
