GOD SAVE THE FED?

We all know why this region never feels the pinch like the rest of the country when times get tough!

Surviving Recessions:





The strength of the Washington metropolitan economy is founded on the presence of the federal government. Historically, the federal presence in the region has enabled the economy to minimize negative impacts in times of recessions. When there has been a national recession, the Washington region's economy has not been nearly as impacted as other metropolitan areas. This insulation has also meant – prior to the past decade – that the region has not expanded as rapidly as other metro areas when the national economy is doing well. With a large federal employment base in the past, these workers were not as susceptible to layoffs as other sectors of the economy. However, the proportion of area workers employed by the federal government has changed greatly in the past half century.

The difference in the past decade, and now, is that the Washington economy has been expanding even faster than other metro areas and in years that the national economy has been expanding. Clearly the Washington economy has benefited from federal procurement spending in the region; i.e., the purchase by the federal government of services from area companies. This outsourcing of federal functions has fueled the Washington economy in the past 10 years, creating faster job growth in this region than any other area of the country.
Not only has the area added more jobs than any other metropolitan area, but it has added more high paying jobs than any other area.

Washington is the fourth-largest economy in the U.S. behind New York, Los Angeles and Chicago.

Northern Virginia Shines

Northern Virginia has been the 'gorilla' in the metropolitan area's strength in this important economic sector. During the past 10 years, Northern Virginia has added 136,000 jobs in Professional and Business Services sector, while the District of Columbia added 41,000 and Suburban Maryland added 50,000 – or, Northern Virginia added almost 50 percent more of these kinds of jobs than DC and Suburban Maryland combined.
Proximity to the Pentagon has been a factor in this, along with access to two major airports and more business-friendly state and local government policies in Virginia. Northern Virginia has also been the economic engine of the Commonwealth of Virginia in the past 10 years. From 1996 to 2006, Virginia had a total job growth of 595,000 jobs and 175,000 in the Professional and Business Services Sector. Northern Virginia had total job growth of 354,000 – 59% of total job growth in the state for the past 10 years. In the Professional and Business Services sector, Northern Virginia grew by 136,000 jobs while the state grew by 175,000 jobs. Northern Virginia accounted for 78 percent of job growth in this high-paying sector.
The outlook for the region's economy in 2007 is that growth will continue to be strong, although some moderating is likely given that federal procurement spending increases moderated last year. This decrease will be seen in job numbers in 2007, and overall job growth in 2007 is forecasted to be 56,600 for the metro area (compared to 65,500 in 2006) and is forecasted to be 33,500 in Northern Virginia (compared to 38,000 in 2006).
