County unemployment data for March 2023 From Mike Clark/Kim Saylor Brannock Frankfort, KY -- Unemployment rates fell in 90 counties between March 2022 and March 2023, rose in 18, and stayed the same in 12 counties, according to the Kentucky Center for Statistics (KYSTATS), an agency of the Kentucky Education and Labor Cabinet. Locally, unemployment rates dropped month-to-month in Adair and all surrounding counties. Year-to-year, rates were down in Adair, Cumberland, Green, Metcalfe and Taylor Counties, remained the same in Russell County, and rose slightly in Casey County.
Woodford County recorded the lowest jobless rate in the commonwealth at 2.8%. It was followed by Fayette County, 2.9%; Anderson, Oldham and Scott counties, 3% each; Jessamine and Washington counties, 3.1% each; and Boone, Carlisle, Carroll and Marion counties, 3.2% each. Magoffin County recorded the state's highest unemployment rate at 9.4%. It was followed by Elliott County, 8.9%; Lewis County, 8%; Breathitt County, 7.6%; Carter County, 7.4%; Martin County, 7.1%; Johnson County, 6.4%; Leslie and Greenup counties, 6.3% each; and Knott County, 6.2%. Kentucky's county unemployment rates and employment levels are not seasonally adjusted because of small sample sizes. Employment statistics undergo sharp fluctuations due to seasonal events such as weather changes, harvests, holidays, and school openings and closings. Seasonal adjustments eliminate these influences and make it easier to observe statistical trends. The comparable, unadjusted unemployment rate for the state was 3.8% for March 2023, and 3.6% for the nation. This story was posted on 2023-04-27 13:49:00
