Got a photo of this cute lil' guy when passing by the Netherlands Carillon! Not only was the bell tower a pretty sight, but the flowers adorning the area around it were too, from the grand sight of them all to the tiniest bees!

I went to Leesylvania state park in Northern Virginia, and saw beautiful views of the Potomac river. I even walked on a long fishing pier into Maryland! It was a nice trip.

So there may have been an earthquake in my area today. Or maybe an explosion. Something big went boom and this time it definitely wasn't the marine corps doing bombing practice

Annual Change in HC&SA Regional Employment (Not Seasonally Adjusted, Full-Year Change for 2017-2021, Year-to-Date Change for 2022)

HWDC Releases December 2022 Health Workforce Brief Series 2: Regional and Sectoral Employment

The Department of Health Professions' Healthcare Workforce Data Center has released the December 2022 issue of its Virginia Health Care Workforce Brief Series 2: Regional and Sectoral Employment. Data in this Brief is not seasonally adjusted.

According to preliminary estimates, most of Virginia’s Health Care & Social Assistance (HC&SA) employment growth in November took place in the Rest of Virginia, which created 1,700 new HC&SA jobs during the month. This employment increase in the Rest of Virginia’s HC&SA sector translates into an impressive 15.6% annualized growth rate. With this month’s gain, the Rest of Virginia has now created 8,000 HC&SA jobs so far this year. Hampton Roads was the only other region in the state that increased HC&SA employment during the month. In November, Hampton Roads’ HC&SA sector created 400 new jobs, a gain that represents a one-month annualized employment growth rate of 4.9%. Hampton Roads is currently enjoying the fastest long-term HC&SA job growth in the state thanks to its 12-month employment growth rate of 7.4%. As for Virginia’s two other regions, Northern Virginia’s HC&SA sector lost 400 jobs in November, while Richmond saw HC&SA employment fall by 100 during the month.

Regional HC&SA employment highlights are included in the table below (in thousands of employees):

Region Nov. 2021 Nov. 2022 YOY Growth Virginia 447.6 472.5 5.6% Hampton Roads 92.7 99.6 7.4% Northern Virginia 137.1 145.2 5.9% Richmond 83.0 86.3 4.0% Rest of Virginia 134.8 141.4 4.9%

For the second consecutive month, all four of Virginia’s HC&SA subsectors enjoyed positive employment growth. Hospitals produced the most jobs in November as this HC&SA subsector created 600 new jobs during the month. This gain represents a one-month annualized employment growth rate of 6.9%. In addition, this also represents the first time in more than one year in which Hospitals have produced the largest employment gain among Virginia’s four HC&SA subsectors. Meanwhile, Nursing & Residential Care Facilities created 500 jobs in November, which translates into an 8.7% annualized employment growth rate. As for Ambulatory Health Care Services and Social Assistance, these two HC&SA subsectors increased employment by 400 and 100, respectively, during the month. Although Ambulatory Health Care Services and Social Assistance produced smaller employment gains in November, these two HC&SA subsectors have enjoyed very strong long-term job growth. Over the past year, Ambulatory Health Care Services has increased employment by 6.8%, while Social Assistance has created jobs at a 6.5% rate.

Additional employment highlights by HC&SA subsector are included in the table below (in thousands of employees):

Subsector Nov. 2021 Nov. 2022 YOY Growth Total HC&SA 447.6 472.5 5.6% Ambulatory Health Care 197.2 210.6 6.8% Hospitals 105.1 107.9 2.7% Nursing & Residential Care 68.7 72.4 5.4% Social Assistance 76.6 81.6 6.5%

I really wanna settle in Northern Virginia because I love the shopping and dining they have there in many areas, but I’m not sure how accepting certain parts of it would be for me as a Black, queer, disabled and neurodivergent woman.

Does anyone know how accepting parts of Northern Virginia are of people from marginalized groups?
