Baltimore suburbs are part of the whole aerospace / defense corridor: NSA, SAIC, Ft Meade, NASA Goddard, and a whole lot more ;)

Being in Washington DC and knowing I can drive to half of those places in 30 mins, I wonder which metropolitan area definition the numbers in the article are using.

Does (NSA, SAIC, Ft Meade, NASA Goddard) really pay that much more than (Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Northrup Grumman)?

Edit: Adjusted for cost of living, Baltimore > DC makes more sense.
