LOCAL INSIGHT
Richmond's largest employers sit in four different jurisdictions
The Greater Richmond Partnership's largest employers list for the metro puts Capital One first at 14,000 employees in Goochland, followed by VCU Health at 13,500 in the city, HCA Virginia at 11,200 in Chesterfield and Bon Secours at 8,516 in Henrico. Virginia Commonwealth University has 7,832, Dominion Energy 5,433, Amazon 5,100 and Truist 4,549. Because the top ten spread across Richmond, Henrico, Chesterfield and Goochland, a business in this region serves customers who cross city and county lines every day, and a map listing has to be right for all of them.
The metro has over 1.3 million people, with the city and three counties making up 79% of it, and 41.4% of adults aged 25 to 64 hold a bachelor's degree or higher against 35.8% nationally, per the partnership's demographics page. Fortune's June 2026 list, as shown by the partnership, names twelve companies headquartered here, including Performance Food Group, CarMax, Altria, Markel, Dominion Energy and Genworth. Firms that sell to companies like these, such as accountants and agencies, win work when buyers search by service and compare sites.
We build websites and run SEO for Richmond professional and trade firms that want to be found by those buyers, with pages organized by service.
