BLUEFIELD, W.Va. (WVVA) – Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin has announced the most recent employment numbers for Virginia. This announcement comes after a survey by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
According to the survey, Virginia non-farm reported payroll employment dropped by 5,800 in August.
“This month’s numbers draw our full attention to the importance of continuing to drive forward pro-growth, business friendly initiatives that keep Virginia accelerating.” Youngkin said.
While the numbers dropped in August, the over-the-year statistics show the growth of 61,600 jobs this year.
