Bill Mezger Quotations

The state unemployment rate probably won't go much lower than it is. I doubt it will get back to the mid-2 percent range that we had in 2001. Virginia is attracting people from other places. They are finding work pretty quick, but while they are looking for work, it does add to unemployment.

The national economy is strong right now, and the Virginia economy is strong. We're better than pretty much any other state.

In addition to that, Richmond has become a real medical center not only for Virginia, but for the upper South.
