Unemployment Rate Climbs In KY
KENTUCKY...
State figures show the unemployment rate rose to 10 percent in August, down slightly from a year ago.
The Kentucky Office of Employment and Training reported in a news release Thursday that the jobless rate was down 0.8 percentage points from 10.8 percent last August.
The 10 percent rate matches the unemployment rate recorded in June and is the highest since that month.
Justine Detzel, chief labor market analyst for the state, said the numbers show Kentucky's economy is struggling to mount a sustained recovery.
