Unemployment rates are down in Starke and Pulaski counties. Last month, Starke County saw an unemployment rate of 3.7 percent, while Pulaski County’s rate was 2.8 percent, according to the latest report from the Indiana Department of Workforce Development.

For both counties, that’s a decline of seven-tenths of a percent from August and three-tenths of a percent from the same period last year. But in Starke County, the number of people employed has actually dropped slightly, as the county’s labor force shrunk somewhat.

The state as a whole saw a non-seasonally adjusted unemployment rate of three percent last month, while the national rate was 3.6 percent.
