GREAT News for Virginia

Yesterday, MoneyRates.com named Virginia the #1 state to earn a living.

On top of this, the Governor announced that over the last 10 days Virginia has received more GREAT news.

- Corporate facilities and expansions increased by 44% in 2011


- The states unemployment rate has fallen to 5.8% - the lowest in 3 years


- Agricultural exports hit a record high of $2.35 billion in 2011 - up 6% from 2010.


- In the month of February the states revenues increased by 17.2%.


Simply put, unemployment has gone down. Job-creation, exports, and the quality of life have gone up.
