A state agency has reported that unemployment rates increased in 94 Kentucky counties between October 2006 and October 2007. The Kentucky Office of Employment and Training reported unemployment rates dropped in 18 counties and remained the same in eight counties. The highest jobless rate was 10.2 percent in Jackson County. Fayette and Warren counties recorded the lowest jobless rates at 3.7 percent each. In Kentucky, unemployment statistics are based in estimates and are complied to measure trends rather than actually to count people working. They do not include unemployed Kentuckians who have not looked for employment within the past four weeks.
Jonah’s Thoughts:
Fayette, Scott, Madison, and Jessamine Counties are all seeing new growth.
