Gee, such “income inequality”
I guess the Dems should cut the bloated bureaucrazies and fire a bunch of Falls Churchers
These “ruling class” communities also have substantial numbers of government contractors in addition to their actual government employees. All feed from the public trough that we struggle to keep filled.
In both places, government employed people out of proportion to the national rate of 14.9 percent. In Falls Church, a suburb less than 10 miles south of Washington, D.C., 31.3 percent of the people with jobs worked for government. In Wilcox County, it was 25.4 percent.
Well Falls Church is obviously doing other things to attract companies to their county. They still have another 69 percent that is private sector. And if 31 percent is the highest in the nation then the private sector is winning everywhere. Why not do a story on, “Private Sector has more money than government agencies”....because that would be the truth and nobody wants to hear that.
In Falls Church, 72.8 percent had a bachelor’s degree or higher.
Oh and that has nothing to do with the high per capita salaries I bet....eyes roll. Places like Arnold Maryland where I live also have a high percentage of college grads and have an average salary of 110,000 dollars. Not the fault of those who are educated want to have a great job. Everyone has the same opportunities in life....some take them and others let them pass them by. Sorry for those who were unable to lift themselves up like those in Falls Church County in Virginia.
The Chinese dynasties of old all collapsed because of the overloading of government workers who sapped the strength of the nation.
Ah...those ever-suffering “public servants”.
Whenever you see 30 something percent of voters, supporting some RAT insanity....there ya go.
Damm, I barely make more than their average income. THANKFULLY, life is MUCH CHEAPER in Texas.
When you visit the DC beltway, it looks nothing like flyover country.
The first thing you notice is NOT seeing “available” or “for lease” signs on 50% of the commercial buildings.
I’ve counseled several recent grads to head down that way and they got good jobs and prospered. But it’s a prosperity based on fake govt money and onerous taxation.
