Find Out More About the DC, Montgomery County Area Economy & Job Market 

A major stabilizing factor for the local Montgomery County real estate market is that the Washington DC economy is the most insulated in the country. Business in this area revolves around the largest and most consistent spending entity in the world – the U.S. Government. The United States government, and government agencies and programs, provide an enormous number of jobs locally, but just a fraction compared to all of the businesses and associations that have set up shop here to solicit our nation’s spending dollars, and seek to influence policy. Then add to that the businesses that want to take advantage of the most highly educated workforce in the country (such as the many tech companies), and then all of the businesses to support one of the nation’s wealthiest consumer populations (such as retail, construction, and healthcare)... and you’ve got quite a vibrant economy.  

Besides Government, according to the latest Montgomery County Park and Planning Commission report, the largest local industries, and the biggest employers for the most part are; Technology (especially biotechnology), Retail, Construction, and Healthcare.
