Virginia unemployment hits 29 year July low
Virginia’s unemployment rate fell to 3.1 percent in July, the lowest in 29 years, down 0.4 points from June’s 3.5 percent. The drop comes as students enter temporary summer work or leave the labor force, with construction and tourism hiring up while some school staff and factory workers took summer releases.

Personal income rises as July spending slips for first time in years
Americans boosted personal incomes 0.5 percent to a $7.14 trillion annual rate in July while consumer spending fell 0.2 percent to a $5.8 trillion rate. Analysts note autos blunted July spending, with GM strikes and fading incentives reducing auto purchases. Excluding autos, consumption looked healthier though concern grows about future demand as stock gains wane and markets tumble. GDP growth slowed to 1.6 percent in Q2 from 5.5 percent earlier this year.
