(April 26, 2007) Unemployment rates fell in 104 Kentucky counties between March 2006 and March 2007, rose in 12 counties and remained the same in four counties, according to the Kentucky Office of Employment and Training in the Education Cabinet. Adair County had a dramatic improvement over February, with the unemployment dropping almost a full percentage point, from 7.3% in February 2007 to 6.4% in March 2007.
