Hampton Roads Economic Monthly
Economic Indicators Paint a Positive Future for Hampton Roads
This month's report features the strongest set of economic indicators for the region since 2010. Hampton Roads' employment grew in January (with upwards revisions to previous estimates) and the unemployment rate fell even as the labor force grew. Permitting and initial unemployment claims remained constant, while pressure from foreclosures continued to (slowly) decline. While the Hampton Roads economy remains fragile, and especially susceptible to swings in defense spending/employment, the most recent data suggests the region could realign with national levels of growth.
