Washington DC and the broader National Capital Region — encompassing Northern Virginia and suburban Maryland — form one of the largest and most stable job markets in the United States. The region's economy is underpinned by federal government employment, defence and intelligence contracting, and a rapidly growing technology corridor in Northern Virginia that hosts the headquarters of Amazon Web Services, Booz Allen Hamilton, Leidos, and SAIC.
Top sectors hiring in the DC metro area include federal contracting and consulting, cybersecurity, software engineering, policy and public affairs, healthcare and hospital systems, legal services, and non-profit management. The region has consistently low unemployment and above-average salaries, particularly for cleared professionals and technology workers.
