This list is bogus, because DC is not on it, IF it's for finding employment as the topic of this thread stated. IF it's for job growth, a whole different story.
I'd say they go together. More jobs means more money spent in the local economy which produces even more jobs and spending and so on. That's called the money muliplier effect. If you want a good example of how government stimulus really works just look how much better the DC metro did than the rest of the country during the recession. The feds still spent here while the rest of the country cut back.
And with the 800,000 new work visas being handed out, along with the dismal 69,000 jobs of May, I think your odds of landing a job now have gone way down. Way way down.

Indeed. There's also all the new fears of a "double dip recession," which I find hilarious because by any honest standard, the US has been in a Depression for at least 4 years. Fluffing the GDP numbers with bailouts and inflation does not create a real recovery... as people are soon to understand, it seems.
Ive been offered a number of jobs in the DC area, unfortunately, they all were contract and paid less than 35k.
That's another running gag I've run into - the short-term jobs located in the middle of nowhere or far away. Sorry, but it is not economically feasible to wander around the nation, living out of a car or hotel, while barely making any profit on some BS short-term assignment that pays horribly. Geez... and they probably wonder why they "can't find anybody" for these jobs!
