Unemployment in Virginia’s metro areas largely remained unchanged in March.
The Virginia Employment Commission reported on Wednesday that, in comparison to February’s results, March jobless rates showed no change in seven of 11 metropolitan statistical areas.
The VEC numbers are not seasonally adjusted, meaning they do not account for seasonal fluctuations in the labor market.
Unemployment rose by one-tenth of a percentage point in two metro areas, Harrisonburg and Northern Virginia, while falling by the same sliver of a percentage point in two others, Lynchburg and Winchester.
