This is going to devastate the DC area. Most of my friends work for one of the big IT contractors. It's a great gig if you can get it, very nice compensation and not a lot of responsibility. The first rule of government contracting has always been why buy something when you can buy it for three times the price. As a result these firms have become quite massive in their size and billings. This is going to cause a major overturn in people living in the DC region, and overall incomes. I would say perhaps, perhaps, it's the equivalent of a very large company leaving Silicon Valley.
