Abstract	A profile of Virginia is presented, which assesses trends in the state's economy, population, and educational system. The state is characterized by a diverse economy, a well-educated suburban middle-class majority, a high level of individual and state wealth, and a high level of work force participation. Problems include rural poverty, lack of minority groups' success, poorly coordinated state services, and regional conflict. A conclusion is that dramatic economic growth necessitates a "pay-as-you-go" taxation and service delivery plan. Recommendations are made to create legislative responsibility for transportation and highway planning; improve "high tech" development; implement equity in educational financing; coordinate higher educational autonomy with state policy; create stable, middle-income jobs; and emphasize education's educational role. Three tables are included. (18 references) (LMI)
