I am so pleased to announce that Bethesda has been named a top job growth city through 2020. The Bureau of Labor Statistics recently announced the results of its study of 100 of the largest metropolitan areas throughout the United States for potential job growth until the end of the decade. The Bethesda/Rockville/Frederick area placed second only to the DC/Arlington/Alexandria section of the DC metro area for highest projected job growth in the entire country.
