D.C. residents make up less than a third of the city’s workforce, and are more likely than their Maryland and Virginia counterparts to hold low-paying jobs here.

A post from District, Measured, a site run by D.C.’s Office of Revenue Analysis, analyzed the connections in the DMV labor market, finding that Virginia and Maryland have larger slices of the pie when it comes to total wages earned.

Of the 774,000 workers in D.C. in 2014, about 251,000 live here—that comes out to 32 percent. Of the total $63.5 billion earned in wages, though, District residents earned $18 billion of it, which is about 28 percent.

How does that work out? Well, turns out that city residents are more likely to hold the lower-paying jobs. 44 percent of the jobs paying $30,000 or less annually belong to people living in D.C.

Those jobs include the non-profit sector, where District residents are more plentiful than commuters. Unfortunately, as District, Measured notes, that’s one of the lowest paying sectors in the city.

Commuters instead brave the Beltway for jobs in the private sector and federal government. Virginians make out particularly well—they’re 28 percent of the workforce, yet they hold about 40 percent of the jobs that pay $100,000 or more.

At least we’re getting their best and the brightest. “If salaries are any indicators, the most educated and productive residents of our neighboring jurisdictions work in the District,” writes District, Measured. But is salary the best indicator?

And don’t forget about the reverse-commuters, all 89,000 of them. Their salaries are on the rise, and they collectively earn about $6 billion a year. It still doesn’t hold a candle to folks from Maryland and Virginia, who earn about $45 billion annually in the District.
