Kansas faces up to 40000 jobs loss in fiscal cliff scenario
An REMI analysis warns Kansas could shed more than 40,000 jobs next year if tax cuts expire and federal spending cuts hit defense and other programs. About 35,000 of losses would be private sector, with reduced consumer spending hurting retailers and Medicare recasts impacting health care. GDP could fall by over 2.75 billion dollars, as aerospace firms like Hawker Beechcraft and Spirit AeroSystems feel shifts in defense work.
