| #3 From the article: Federal government jobs still account for about 10.5 percent of the D.C. region’s total labor force. The number of local government jobs in the region was up significantly from a year ago. Local governments employed 341,700 people as of September — 8,300 jobs, or 2.5 percent more than in September 2017. It looks like the former federal workers found jobs in local government, Glenmore. |
