Kentucky's Jobless Rate Drops
KENTUCKY....
The state Office of Employment and Training says Kentucky's jobless rate dropped to 9.9 percent last month, down slightly from a revised rate of 10 percent in June. The rate marks the lowest unemployment level in Kentucky since February 2009, when the rate was 9.6 percent. The lower rate is due to a drop in the state's civilian labor force because people have become discouraged in their job search. Those who haven't looked for a job in the last four weeks are no longer counted in the labor force.
