Seems like there is zero job growth in MOCO and now 90% of job growth in the entire region is in NoVA. 
Both my husband and I work in DC but we feel like there are a lot more job prospects out in Tysons |

| Definitely an issue that's been talked about at length on DCUM. I'm a MoCo resident and have had zero issues with jobs (then again, my industry is much better in MoCo than Nova - Biotech/pharma). Something to watch for, for sure. |

| What industry are you both in? For me, the jobs are in DC and MD. |

This. Depends on industry. It would be interesting to see OP's stats by industry - I suspect it would say a much different story. |

We both have DFI and finance/investment backgrounds, there is capital one and Fannie by Tysons |

| I don’t trust Stephen Fuller. He was in trouble recently for offering to let Amazon preview one of his supposedly independent reviews. Low job growth when the economy is healthy and unemployment is low not very surprising. |

NOT anytime soon. They are making profits again. Those toxic housing assets are regaining FMV. BTW Freddie is in Tysons, where as Fannie is in DC. |

| Yes, I grew up in MoCo. It’s been declining for years. Move to va. |

| Is your issue that you would have a bad commute, or that housing values will go down? If the former, I commute from Bethesda to Tyson’s and it’s actually not as horrible as everyone says, since I shift my hours earlier. If the latter, there are other reasons to be in Bethesda. |

Why do you care about relative job growth? I call troll. |

| I canvassed in VA during the last election. There are a lot of good people there, but plenty of scary bigots too. I prefer to raise my family in DC/MD. |
