Kentucky's April Unemployment Rate Remained Steady
State officials announced Tuesday Kentucky's unemployment in April remained steady at 9.8%. They say this sounds like a victory, but includes those who faced long-term unemployment and dropped out of the labor force. Nationally, the April unemployment rate was 8.9%. The manfacturing sector lost 2,400 jobs, while construction added 400 more workers, the first increase since October. Mining and logging added 200 jobs.
