(Whitewater Valley)--Unemployment rates are down for the second consecutive months in counties across the Whitewater Valley.  That includes Wayne County, where new numbers indicate a modest drop from 3.8 to 3.6% unemployment.  That rate drop is largely due to the fact that 286 people have dropped out of Wayne County’s labor force in the last month.  Union and Franklin County tie for the lowest unemployment rate in our area at three percent.
