The City of Chesapeake is part of
Virginia's Hampton Roads, America's First Region,
located at the midpoint of the US Atlantic Coast,
3.5 hours south of Washington, DC. Two-thirds of
the US population and industrial production are
within 750 miles (1,200 km) of Chesapeake, one of
the 100 largest cities in America, and one of its
best locations for business investment and quality
of life. Hampton Roads is the 31st largest Metropolitan
Statistical Area (MSA) in the United States. Salaries
are below the U.S. average Local labor force is
augmented annually by 17,000 exiting military personnel,
40,000 military spouses and more than 8,500 graduating
college students Labor costs in Chesapeake are historically
competitive nationally, particularly because of
Virginia state laws that contain employer costs
in the areas of workers' compensation and unemployment
insurance. Chesapeake embraces the global village
concept, blending the best of America with the cosmopolitan
influences of over 80 foreign-based companies from
19 different countries . Consistently ranked by
the FBI as one of the five safest U.S. cities with
populations over 200,000, Chesapeake is a family-oriented
city with a pace that's in keeping with dynamic
global business community. For more information
