If you’re a law student, you may want to settle in D.C. after graduation. According to District, Measured—D.C.’s Office of Revenue Analysis’ blog—legal services employees in D.C. are raking in the dough. Earning more than their counterparts in New York and Boston, employees at D.C. law firms make about $166,000 a year.

Data also showed that workers in D.C.’s law industry make nearly double the average of D.C. workers overall, which was $85,877 in 2014.

Lawyers account for about 3 percent of all occupations in D.C., and astutely enough, they manage to link up romantically. That’s right—D.C. topped the list of lawyers who marry other lawyers with 16 percent, compared to a national average of about 8 percent for all states, according to the blog’s data.

This type of hooking up among persons of the same income level is called assortative mating. District, Measured sites a study that says assortative mating contributes to national income inequality.

Moral of the story? Contrary to popular belief, not everyone in D.C. is a lawyer. But those who are certainly reap some major benefits.
