Last year was a bad one for thousands of workers in the nation's capital. The D.C. area, including Arlington and Alexandria, lost 15,700 jobs in 2009, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.The unemployment rate at the end of the year was 6.2 percent.
While a bunch of Washingtonians lost their jobs, workers elsewhere had it even worse. Chicago (down 182,300 jobs) suffered the most job losses last year.

I have 3 brother-in-laws in that area and they are losing their business due to minority laws.
All government contracts are going to minority groups. Isn't that sweet !! They have laid off all their emloyees and will lose their businesses in short order.Thanks obama you idiot!
But what about all those job created by the stimulis bill? You forgot to count those districts that don't exist and those "saved" jobs.
I don't see DC as "local"
Your young and you got your health, what in the world do want with a job.
