Virginia's unemployment rate has increased for seven consecutive months, now tied for the second highest year-over-year rise in the nation.
Quiver AI Summary
The unemployment rate in Virginia has increased for the seventh consecutive month, rising to 3.6 percent in July, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. This change marks a significant year-over-year increase of 0.8 percent, making it the second fastest in the nation, with sharp declines observed in labor force participation over recent months.
Congressman Don Beyer criticized the current policy decisions, linking them to job losses among federal workers, stating, "Virginia’s unemployment rate is rising faster than nearly every other state." He attributed these trends partly to federal job cuts and tariffs associated with the Trump Administration, suggesting an adverse impact on local economies.
Despite concerns from experts about potential severe economic damage in Virginia, local leaders continue to support federal cuts. Beyer emphasized the challenge facing families and businesses, and expressed worries about the worsening economic outlook amid the ongoing increase in unemployment.
