This is some shock, huh?
The Washington region is well off financially.
The D.C. metro area sits atop The Wall Street Journal’s list of America’s richest cities.
D.C. area residents have a median household income
of $86,680, well above the national average of $50,502.
The large salaries may be attributable to the nearly 47 percent of workers who hold college degrees
The list also shows more adults in the area were able to find employment during a down economic time. Just 5.8 percent of the workforce
Because "nearly 47 percent . . . hold college degrees"?!?! Not because so many of them work for the federal government that has made itself immune from ordinary life? Poor babies -- only $86,000 median income when it should be $100,000, unemployment at 5.8 percent when it should be zero. Obviously our your taxes need to be raised.
