It is largely populated by professionals working in the federal civil service, the U.S. military, or one of the many private companies contracted to provide services to the Federal Government. The latter are locally known as beltway bandits, after the Capital Beltway, an interstate highway that circles Washington, D.C. One of Alexandria's largest employers is the U.S. Department of Defense. Others include the Institute for Defense Analyses and the Center for Naval Analyses. In 2005, the United States Patent and Trademark Office moved 7,100 employees from 18 separate buildings in nearby Crystal City into a new headquarters complex in the city.

An area of Fairfax County is also called Alexandria, but is under the jurisdiction of Fairfax County and not the city.
