## Market Insights — June 2026

*Based on 48917 postings analyzed in June 2026 • Updated June 1, 2026*

Where is Virginia’s hiring surge coming from? A 269% jump in active postings leaves the state with nearly 50,000 openings—yet compensation lags 16% below the sitewide median. Health care alone accounts for more than half of all listings, while software development and staffing round out the top three industries. The concentration in high-touch fields explains the pay gap: roles requiring on-site presence or state licensure rarely match national salary benchmarks.
