Based on job postings data alone, there doesn’t appear to be much of an impact from COVID-19 on job data thus far; however, there could be many factors to consider:

1. The number of job postings increases nationwide year over year as companies do more of their hiring online (normal trend).

2. Greater impacts will be highlighted in the data over the next 60 days and just isn’t showing up yet.

3. Many companies and industries in northern Virginia are not as impact-ed by COVID-19 as other parts of the country.

4. Something else.

The increased market salary of all advertised positions indicates more of the job postings during the 2020 time period are higher skilled and higher paid than the same time period in 2019.

We will keep monitoring this data and provide frequent updates as the job market continues to rapidly evolve during the COVID-19 pandemic. Job market data that we typically use to measure the economy, like the unemployment rate and the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages, have a lag time of a few months and therefore will be included in future updates. The most recent unemployment rate for northern Virginia is 2.1% for February 2020.
