Census County Business Patterns counts 5,019 manufacturing establishments with 246,819 employees in Virginia (2023). The two federal counts differ because they define an establishment and its coverage differently.

LQ is the location quotient: the state's share of jobs in the industry divided by the U.S. share. BLS withholds some subsectors, counties and metros to protect confidentiality; those are left out of the lists above. Compare every state.
