Virginia Job Market Slumps | Richmond News
Virginia’s job market hit a rough patch last year, losing nearly 48,000 jobs and pushing unemployment to 3.7%—a ten-month streak of declines. Government, manufacturing, and construction took the biggest hits, shedding 12,400, 10,000, and 7,000 jobs respectively. But there’s a glimmer: professional services added 3,000 jobs and leisure/hospitality gained 1,000. The Virginia Employment Commission warns this upward trend will likely continue, signaling a prolonged economic adjustment ahead.
