[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Once again, comparing a tiny part of Virginia to all of MD. Comparing a huge Virginia to a tiny DC. Overall in the first quarter of 2019, VA had 2.7% economic growth. MD overall was slower, 1.9%, I think. This is comparing apples and oranges overall. MD has population over 6m, and VA over 8m nad is a huge state compared to MD. The only reason for any growth is NoVa. I am glad that it has growth, as MoCo leadership is basically doing nothing but talking. NoVa progress might eventually help MoCo. Still, comparing NoVa to all of MD is stupid.[/quote]

DP.  The article compared job growth in NoVa to that in “suburban ,” not all of Maryland.

Suburban Maryland is this region’s clear loser.  [/quote]
Why was "suburban" MD called out but NoVa is NoVa? Does NoVa include Loudon county? What does "suburban MD" encompass exactly?[/quote]
Exactly! Suburban MD? Is is Bethesda? Frederick? What the heck? The Eastern Shore?! Is Salisbury not a suburb, but Fruitland is? How do you compare suburban MD to NoVa? Plus, the article clearly states several times MD, and then in one part suburban MD. English is not even my first language![/quote]
