Human Capital: Greater Washington's Knowledge Workers

Professional Services

Greater Washington attracts a wide range of professional services workers, many of whom are self-employed. These professionals are one of the key driving forces behind a highly successful consulting sector, which relies heavily on self-employed professionals for government and private-sector contracts. When they are not self-employed, an unusually high number of Greater Washington residents take on freelance work. Still, there are shortages in some of this sector’s workforce categories -- including financial services, where there is an increasing need for qualified accountants, chief financial officers, and directors of finance. In contrast, the region’s advertising sector is growing in terms of workforce numbers and prestige, with many regional firms rivaling their competitors in New York.
