The Virginia Unemployment Commission is the state department that submits the reports on VA Unemployment levels that is released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. By utilizing the report from the Virginia Unemployment Commission, the Bureau, a part of the federal Department of Labor in the United States of America is able to publish a comprehensive report on the levels of VA unemployment across the state.

In addition to VA unemployment levels on a statewide basis, the Bureau of Labor Statistics is also able to break down VA unemployment report from the Virginia Unemployment Commission into separate reports that describe the different metropolitan areas in the state. These major metropolitan areas are:
