Unemployment rates continue to drop in Starke and Pulaski counties. Starke County saw an unemployment rate of 3.5 percent in May, according to the latest report from the Indiana Department of Workforce Development. That’s down from 3.7 percent the month before and 3.8 percent during the same period last year.
The decline was similar in Pulaski County. Its May unemployment rate was 2.7 percent, compared to three percent in April and 2.9 percent in May of 2018.
However, fewer Starke and Pulaski county residents appeared to be working last month compared to May of last year, as the counties’ labor forces shrunk somewhat. The state as a whole saw a non-seasonally adjusted unemployment rate of 2.9 percent in May, while the national rate was 3.4 percent.
