(Wayne County, IN)--There’s been an across-the-board drop in unemployment rates for Indiana counties in the Whitewater Valley.  According to new numbers from the state Thursday, Wayne County’s unemployment rate has dropped to 2.9%. This marks the first time Wayne County has been under three percent unemployment since last April.  Much of the reason for the drop, though, is that Wayne County has had more than 350 people drop out of the labor force in the last month.  Union County now has our area’s lowest unemployment at 2.4%.
