1,395 certified filings with a worksite in this city · FY2021–FY2026 (through Q3)

How this city maps to a federal statistical area

scope

Filings from Washington DC, DC fall inside the federal statistical area WASHINGTON-ARLINGTON-ALEXANDRIA, DC-VA-MD-WV. That area is larger than this city — it spans several cities and, where the name says so, more than one state. Everything on this page is computed from filings whose worksite city is Washington DC itself, so the numbers above are city figures, not area figures.

Ranked by number of filings, not by pay and not by quality. This is not a “best employers” list. Employers with fewer than 10 filings here show the count only. 697 employers in total filed for a worksite in Washington DC; the 25 above are those with the most filings. Those with at least 10 certified filings have their own page; the rest are counted here but do not.

Layoff notices in DC

State WARN notices
We have no way to know about layoffs in Washington DC.
Layoff notices (WARN) are published state by state, and District of Columbia is not one of the states we have loaded.

Nothing on this page should be read as evidence that employers here are or are not cutting jobs — we simply do not have this state's notices. Check the District of Columbia labor department's WARN page directly.

Which cities have a page

We build a page for a city once it has at least 50 certified filings — 2,578 cities qualify, and 2,298 of those also clear our content threshold and are listed in the city index. Below the filing threshold we do not publish a median, because a median from a small number of filings reads like a market rate and is not one. Those filings are still counted on their employer's page.
