INDIANAPOLIS - Indiana’s unemployment rate has dipped below three percent.
According to the Indiana Department of Workforce Development, the state’s jobless rate fell to 2.7 percent in December.
The December unemployment rate is a record low for the state dating back to 1976.
“With a 2.7% unemployment rate and more than 150,000 job postings statewide, there are now more employment and economic opportunities available than there have been in several decades,” DWD Commissioner Fred Payne said. “We will continue to offer Hoosier job seekers the proper skills training to secure the job of their choice, and Hoosier employers the tools to find workers to fit their needs.”
Indiana’s jobless rate remains lower than the national rate of 3.9 percent.
