3. DC is still highly segregated in many ways

with many types of jobs, housing, and so on. People don't normally think of government contracting in racial segregation/discrimination issues but there are many companies here who have a major dividing line in the types of work and clients people can work on based on ancestral heritage, not citizenship, training, or experience.

If that's too cryptic for DUers to understand, these companies need a token US citizen to do things US citizens won't do and will completely lie to recruit one. They prefer one who looks like the hundreds of other folks who work those jobs to intentionally cause confusion about who is stealing jobs. Is it stealing if no Americans will apply?

More of these terrible companies are going out of business and being exposed online as they lose talent during labor shortage.
