Brah, it is cool ATL is developing so well. I honestly mean that because of the high pollution down there, my people will benefit as a result. So I genuinely happy tp hear all that is poppin off.
But you're turning this into a dong measuring contest comparing job markets. Problem is the DMV is the Lexington Steele of the job market.
It is not just contractors (which there are a ton), it is also government job themselves (which they are a ton), and there a **** load of private sector jobs and tech jobs too. I don't know what makes you think it is just contractors.
Nah, I`m not trying to turn this into a pissing contest, I just literally hear nothing about DMVs economy that isn't related to Govt Contracting. Once again I am in IT and hear nothing about tech industry booming in DMV that isn't govt related. After a quick google search, I see Atlanta has 17 Fortune 500 companies with Global HQs based in the city and 31 Fortune 1000, so that doesn't even include smaller companies.

Now when people compare DMV which is a City and 2 states, of course you will have bigger Economic options just from sheer size. Either way, I`m good in ATL, and OP can do what he wants, at the end of the day if you put in work you will eat, whether you're in DC or Idaho.
You should look up the Dulles Technology Corridor.
DMV version of Silicon Valley.
