The Virginia Employment Commision administers the Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS) program. The LAUS program provides a monthly estimate of an area's labor force, employment, unemployment, and unemployment rate. Data is taken from surveys and unemployment claims recorded during the monthly reference week, which is usually the week including the 12th day of each month. Statistics are an estimate of persons by place of residence, not where a person works. In order to be considered unemployed an individual must have had no employment during the reference week, been available for work, and have made an effort to find employment for four weeks leading up to the reference week.
This report shows the number of people in the labor force who are unemployed and the unemployment rate (%) for each locality in Virginia. For more information about local employment statistics in Virginia, visit the Virginia Employment Commission’s LAUS website.
