Unemployment Rate Drops
KENTUCKY...
Kentucky's unemployment rate dropped in April but remained in double digits. The state Office of Employment and Training reported Thursday that the jobless rate in April was 10.6 percent, down from a revised 10.7 percent the month before. Last month's figure is up slightly from April 2009, when the unemployment rate was 10.4 percent. The 10.6 percent rate in April matches the statewide figure in December and is the lowest jobless rate since that time in Kentucky.
