Welcome to the Office of the Secretary of Labor
Virginia Labor Week 2026
September 4–11, 2026
Honor the workers whose skill and service keep Virginia strong. This week we celebrate the people behind the work — and the families, communities, and economy they support. Their work. Our Commonwealth.
Governor Spanberger’s Working Families’ Agenda
In 2026, Governor Spanberger signed into law more than a dozen bills to expand worker protections across the Commonwealth.
Your Secretary of Labor
The Secretary of Labor oversees a wide range of regional, state, and federal programs that connect Virginians to the skills, training, and opportunities they need to thrive in the 21st-century economy. In addition to public sector partners, Secretary Jessica K. Looman works closely with Virginia’s labor and business communities to identify and fill vacant jobs in high-demand sectors.
