Army Quartermaster School and Fort Lee are located within Prince George County. This installation has impact upon, not only the County, but all of the Appomattox Basin.
Labor Resources
Virginia is one of the least unionized of the more industrial states. Three major reasons for this are the State’s Right to Work Law, the importance of manufacturing industries such as textiles, apparel, electrical machinery, and lumber which are not highly organized in Virginia, and the importance of federal civilian and military employment. Only four states had a smaller percentage of their nonagricultural work force unionized than Virginia.
