The state of Virginia has one of the most diverse and high-performing economies in the U.S. Aerospace remains a dominant industry, with more than 200 aerospace firms—including Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and Orbital Sciences—employing over 30,000 workers. No other state has fulfilled as many federal aerospace contracts in the last decade.
Agriculture is another major economic driver, contributing more than $52 billion annually and supporting hundreds of thousands of jobs. With over 40,000 farms across 8 million acres, Virginia grows key crops like peanuts, tobacco, grains, cotton, and corn.
Virginia is also home to major military and government operations, including the Naval Station in Norfolk, CIA headquarters in Langley, and Marine Corps Base Quantico—each creating extensive demand for logistics and material handling infrastructure.
