In the tug-of-war for jobs across the Potomac, a top local analyst says Northern Virginia is winning.
The director of George Mason University's Center for Regional Analysis Stephen Fuller says, "Northern Virginia has been outperforming suburban Maryland in the generation of jobs" for 30 years, with the differences becoming even more pronounced lately.
"On a population base they're relatively equal, on a jobs base they're very unequal," Fuller says. "Northern Virginia is just way out there. It has over 30,000 new jobs in the last year, where suburban Maryland is running about 1,500," Fuller says.
