(Richmond, IN)--On Monday, Kicks 96 and 101.7 The Point News reported that new numbers show that Wayne County’s unemployment rate has dropped slightly.  Now, here’s a look at just the city of Richmond.  Richmond’s unemployment rate is higher than the county-wide rate at 4.2%.  But, what’s most notable in the new state report is the drop in the number of people who are working in Richmond.  This morning, there are 261 fewer people employed in Richmond than were employed last Halloween.  The drop in workers exists even though the number of people in the Richmond workforce remains essentially the same.
