Also I am little surprised there is not more growth for DC,
with Baltimore removed its at 66K - given the growth rate of the area that might suggest that there was slowing of the job adds in DC. Also Baltimore nearly matched DC with many fewer people. Just expected more in the relative sense from DC. Maybe the slow down of the govt expansion was the impact

Government jobs aren't being created like they were. My company owns a ton of office real estate in DC, and when we talk about market conditions in our board meetings there are very strong concerns about DC in the coming few years.

Of course there is... didn't we all see it coming?
Legitimately surprised to see Detroit up there. Ann Arbor has always been a good city for growth, but even Flint is showing modest numbers? Is this still Michigan?

Every major city in Michigan other than Detroit is now below the national average in unemployment. Ann Arbor is at 4.3%, Grand Rapids 5.4%, Lansing 5.6%, Kalamazoo 6%, even Flint is down to 7.8%. Detroit metro is the only one still hanging up there at 9.7%, but that is a big improvement over where it was. Things are looking up here for sure.

Baltimore's numbers are a pleasant surprise. Could we be turning that corner?
