District, Measured — the blog from the D.C. Office of Revenue Analysis — released data coinciding with the strike, which provides a glimpse of this role. The numbers show the jobs immigrants hold and thus which local sectors may have been affected by the strike. “Most of the occupations with the highest concentrations of immigrants in D.C. are those with low or middle wages,” District, Measured wrote. A profession is considered low-wage if its median wage was in the bottom 25 percent of median wages across all jobs in D.C., or below $44,000. The median wages of high-wage jobs are in the top 25 percent, or annual salaries of more than $86,000.
