So basically, MoCo relies entirely on govt jobs and some crappy low paying service sector jobs at places like Giant, Safeway, and Target.  Meanwhile in NoVa, the top employers are major banks, super high end tech and software companies, top consulting firms, and other major professional services firms.  I never knew MoCo was getting its lunch eaten this bad.  NoVa has way, way better jobs and a far better diversity of jobs/firms.  MoCo relies entirely on govt, clearly has a severe lack of innovative firms that pay high salaries when compared to NoVa, and a large portion of their residents working in very low quality service sector jobs that probably pay just over minimum wage.  How is MoCo not doomed with this flimsy of a tax and employer base?

The fact that every third car coming down/back on Georgetown Pike has MD plates told me this a long time ago. That and the traffic from same cars on back roads near the beltway in McLean[/quote]

If the MD drivers would just learn to drive, it would (partially) make up for them clogging VA roads.[/quote]

Except it’s the VA drivers who clog up the roads by driving slow in the left lane.
