In addition to the Kipps series, GovCon Wire published an analysis written by Jim McAleese, founder and principal at McAleese & Associates.
The McAleese piece went live prior to the Potomac Officers Club held its Post Sequestration Symposium and featured his thoughts on how GovCon firms had responded to the sequester thus far.
“You began seeing a greater quantity of management changes, with sudden resignation of corporate officers and you began seeing no mergers and acquisitions, because cash had now become king, ” he said in the piece.
Another important piece published by GovCon Wire was an analysis by Dr. Stephen Fuller, director of the George Mason University Center for Regional Analysis.
He spoke about what is to come in the Washington D.C. job market and economy and painted a positive picture for the region’s future.
He said professional business services will lead the way in job growth while decreased federal spending will mean fewer contracting and government jobs.
“Half of the new jobs projected over the next five years are what we used to think of as white-collar jobs. Now they are knowledge-based and tech-intensive workers that work in office space, ” he said.
