Unemployment Up In Kentucky
KENTUCKY...
Annual unemployment figures show jobless rates were higher in all 120 Kentucky counties for 2009. In addition, the Kentucky Office of Employment and Training
reported Tuesday that 95 counties had a jobless rate at or above 10
percent last year. That compares with just seven counties that recorded
double-digit unemployment rates in 2008. The county with the lowest unemployment rate overall last year was Fayette with 7.8 percent. It was followed by nearby Woodford County at 8.2 percent.
