1505.1 Data from the District Department of Employment Services (DOES) and the Office of Planning (OP) indicate there were about 24,107 jobs in the Capitol Hill Planning Area in 2015. This represents just three percent of Washington, DC’s job base. However, the Planning Area is surrounded on the west and south by large employment centers, including the Capitol Complex; and the Capitol Riverfront/Navy Yard area. The number of jobs is projected to increase from about 24,107 today to about 37,207 in 2045. Most of the increase is expected to take place on Reservation 13 on the Anacostia waterfront south of RFK Stadium, and along H Street NE, as new retail and cultural uses locate on the revitalized corridor. Additional job growth may also take place on Pennsylvania Avenue SE.

Please see the Economic Development Element for guidance on coworking location facilities in neighborhood commercial areas.
