What's Being Built in Virginia Right Now

Virginia construction employers face mounting hiring pressures as the state's economic growth slows dramatically while maintaining 232,000 construction workers. Competition intensifies around data center development and infrastructure projects, particularly in Northern Virginia. With wages rising 21.6% since 2019 yet projected job losses through 2026, contractors struggle to attract skilled tradespeople in a tightening market. The geographic spread from coastal areas to rural regions creates recruitment challenges, while new 2025 building code requirements demand workers with updated technical knowledge and certifications.
