Hampton Roads Economic Monthly

Hampton Roads Economic Indicators Continue to Disagree
While national trends in retail sales, employment, and the overall economy have improved steadily, the regional economy has featured far more turbulence as a result of changes in government spending, particularly in the Department of Defense. While U.S. employment is now 5.1% above its pre-recession level, Hampton Roads remains 1.8% below its pre-recession level. Had Hampton Roads recovered at the same rate as the nation, the region would have 54,000 more civilian jobs on the payroll than it does right now.

Drop Those Drips!-Make Plans for "Fix a Leak Week"
|
The average household's leaks can account for more than 10,000 gallons of water wasted every year - that's enough water to wash nearly 10 months' worth of laundry. In fact, ten percent of homes have leaks that waste 90 gallons or more per day. March 20-26 is "Fix a Leak Week," an annual reminder to check your household plumbing fixtures for leaks.

Support Local Families in Need
|
The Help 2 Others program is a 501(c)(3) community-based program that assists people
right here in Hampton Roads in crisis through the generosity of donations. Unfortunately, requests for support outnumber donations each year so your help is needed.
With your generous tax-deductible contribution, we could do more. Each and every donation goes directly to helping a local family in Hampton Roads that faces losing water service because a sudden crisis has temporarily left them unable to pay their bill. Could you imagine a day without water?
