Unemployment rates continue to drop in Starke and Pulaski counties. Starke County’s November unemployment rate was 4.1 percent, according to the latest report from the Indiana Department of Workforce Development. That’s the same as it was in October, but a drop of sixth-tenths of a percent from November of 2016.
Pulaski County’s November unemployment rate was 3.3 percent, down from 3.5 percent the month before and 4.1 percent in November of 2016. But both counties saw their labor forces shrink over the past year, and the actual number of people working has declined, although Pulaski County has seen those figures improve slightly from October.
Marshall County continues to have the lowest unemployment rate in the local area at three percent, while LaPorte County is highest with 4.2 percent. Indiana as a whole reported 3.4 percent unemployment in November, while the U.S. had an unemployment rate of 3.9.
