Correct answer: Carson will contribute less money to local taxes.

Explanation: Losing his job reduces Carson’s income and spending, so he pays less in income and sales taxes and spends less at local businesses. The other choices are incorrect: the community may need to provide more services (unemployment benefits, social services), he won’t necessarily pay higher taxes, and a single job loss can still affect the local economy through reduced spending and greater demand for support.
