The Washington DC metro region continues to stand out for regional job losses and new Brookings data shows the recovery still hasn’t materialized

from The Federal Drive with Terry Gerton

The region is responding strategically, but so far, those responses haven’t translated into measurable improvement. Here to explain what’s happening beneath the surface is Tracy Loh, fellow at the Brookings Institution.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
