Virginia Unemployment Offices
Virginia's 47 unemployment and career center offices cover 42 cities and towns across three very different regional economies — federal contracting and defense work in Northern Virginia and Hampton Roads, a more agricultural southside, and Appalachian coal communities in the southwest that have faced a long industry decline. Browse the city list below to find yours.
