Fairfax County, VA (parent of Tysons Corner) ranks 5th in the nation in wages
In the February 11th issue of this year’s Sun Gazette local (McLean, Vienna, Great Falls, etc.) paper, there was an article by Scott McCaffrey, “Fairfax 5th in Wages Amoung Big U.S. Counties.”
The article quoted figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics showing that the counties residents average weekly wage (from 2nd quarter 2009) was 60.4% higher than the national average.
The top 10 earning counties in the country were =
1) New York County (Manhattan)
2) Santa Clara County, CA
3) Arlington County, VA
4) The District of Columbia
5) Fairfax County, VA
6) Fairfield, Conn.
7) San Mateo, CA
San Francisco, CA
9) Suffolk, MA
10) Somerset, NJ
That bodes well for Tysons Corner residents in terms of abilty to purchase and own real estate. Lets see how many of those big earners purchase this year!
