WAYNE COUNTY SEE MODEST DROP IN UNEMPLOYMENT

(Wayne County, IN)--After climbing for three straight months, Wayne County’s unemployment rate has dropped – at least a little bit.  New numbers from the state put Wayne County’s unemployment rate Tuesday morning at 3.8%.  That’s down from last month’s two-year-high 4.1% rate.  One of the primary reasons for the drop is that nearly a hundred people have dropped out of Wayne County’s labor force is the last month.  Unemployment rates for other Whitewater Valley counties have seen similar modest drops in the new report.
