Unemployment in the area apparently “spiked” in November, but settled down last month according to the Indiana Department of Workforce Development.
After November figures put Howard County near the top of the list for joblessness, the December figures show unemployment is down in the area significantly. After the spike, Howard County’s rate is now just 3.6-percent.
Grant County’s jobless rate stood at 3.8-percent in December, as did Miami and Huntington Counties.
Blackford and Delaware Counties have the highest unemployment rates in this part of Indiana at 3.9-percent, while Tipton County has the lowest in the state at just 2.3-percent.
