Is it easy for University of Virginia graduates to find jobs locally?

Charlottesville, where the University of Virginia is located, is located in north-central Virginia with a population of less than 50,000, and the population of the entire metropolitan area is about 200,000. Charlottesville is also the central city of this metropolitan area. The largest employer in this city is the University of Virginia Medical Center, which employs only over 65,438+0,000 people. It is certainly not easy to find a job in such a small place, but the whole Virginia economy is very good.

Virginia has the densest skilled workers in the United States, and its industrial products are highly technical. Northern Virginia used to be the production and processing base of cheese in the whole state, and now it has developed into a high-tech industrial center with information and communication technology and information consultation, especially Dulles Science and Technology Corridor. The data center in northern Virginia is responsible for 50% of the international Internet traffic in the United States. By 20 12 years, Dominion power plant 10% of the electricity will be used for data centers.

In 2009, Forbes magazine ranked Virginia as the best state in the United States for four consecutive years. In 20 10, the state's GDP was $427.7 billion, ranking ninth among American States.

So there are certainly not many opportunities for this university to be located in Charlottesville, but the surrounding area is good. There are also many companies that come to the school to recruit.
