[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ah…McLean will hurt the most. I personally know plenty of few highly paid Fed contractors (or company owners) who are sweating it. The spigot of Fed $$ is getting tightened up so mortgages and expenses on those $4m homes are starting to sting. [/quote] Based on 2023 Census estimates, approximately 80,000 people — or 13% of the county’s entire workforce — are employed by the federal government, the Fairfax County Economic Development Authority reported this spring. And that doesn’t include Fed adjacent workers. It’s pretty ignorant to assume that none of those people live in McLean. [/quote] NP. +1. There are scores of Federal IT contracting company owners living in McLean thanks to the Fed outsourcing boom. McLean obviously houses pure Fed workers also but it’s the recent rich who have been buying up or building up McLean during the last 20 years or so. [/quote]
