KY leads nation with monthly unemployment rate decrease FRANKFORT, KY (Fri 21 Nov 2014) - Kentucky leads the nation in states that had statistically significant over-the-month unemployment rate declines in October 2014, according to a report today from the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Kentucky's seasonally adjusted preliminary unemployment rate dropped to its lowest level in more than six years in October 2014 at 6.2 percent from a revised 6.7 percent in September 2014. It marks the single-biggest one-month drop in the unemployment rate since 1976, when the current methodology for measuring the rate was adopted. It surpasses last month's record-breaking drop of 0.4 percent and makes the state's 0.9 percent drop in the unemployment rate since August its largest reduction measured in a two-month time period. BLS also reports that Kentucky is tied for fifth among states this month in over-the-year decrease. The preliminary October 2014 jobless rate was 2 percentage points below the 8.2 percent rate recorded for the state in October 2013. 2014-11-21 15:21:43 | Comments | Printable version

Columbia 2 precinct, not West, as reported in your story. Also, we ran out of county ballots at 9:19 am until 12:45 pm causing a long line to form and people had to use the e slate machine to vote county until new ballots could be printed up and sent from Frankfort. Please check my report and make these corrections. - Victoria Pike Thanks - The changes have been made in the story. Also, we're frequently told this morning that the Sharon Burton had a great story, in more detail, in the Adair County Community Voice newspaper. And we've been told that Lisa Fisher is planning an interview with Dr. Arnold. When we have the time it will air on WAIN we'd like to let everybody know. In an conversation with Dr. Arnold this morning, he said that he's still planning to file the petition by Monday, but noted that he has 30 days from the Nov. 4 election in which to file, and that other parties have 20 day after he files the petition to file a counter request. - EW 2014-11-21 10:01:18 | Comments | Printable version

Winter is here. Waterfowl hunters don't see these developments as bad news. They are getting their bags of decoys out of storage, cleaning and oiling shotguns and practicing their calling. Waterfowl season, for both ducks and geese, opens Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 27. Waterfowl habitat across Kentucky is in good shape and the recent cold snap shouldn't greatly impact the upcoming opener.
