Cumberland, Green Counties among lowest unemployment in KY By Mike Clark/Kim Saylor Brannock Frankfort, KY - Unemployment rates rose in 104 Kentucky counties between November 2019 and November 2020, according to the Kentucky Center for Statistics (KYSTATS), an agency of the Kentucky Education and Workforce Development Cabinet. Todd County recorded the lowest jobless rate in the Commonwealth at 3.4 percent. It was followed by Oldham County, 3.5 percent; Henry and Logan counties, 3.6 percent each; Carlisle, Cumberland, Green, Shelby, Washington and Woodford counties, 3.8 percent each. Locally, unemployment was up year-to-year in Adair, Cumberland, Casey, Metcalfe, Russell, and Taylor Counties, and unchanged since November 2019 in Green County. Month to month unemployment fell in all seven local counties between October and November 2020.
Magoffin County recorded the state's highest unemployment rate at 13.9 percent. It was followed by Harlan County, 10.5 percent; Letcher County, 8.8 percent; Leslie County, 8.6 percent; Martin County, 8.4 percent; Floyd County, 8 percent; Knott County, 7.9 percent; Breathitt and Johnson counties, 7.8 percent each; and Perry County, 7.7 percent. Kentucky's county unemployment rates and employment levels are not seasonally adjusted because of small sample sizes. Employment statistics undergo sharp fluctuations due to seasonal events such as weather changes, harvests, holidays and school openings and closings. Seasonal adjustments eliminate these influences and make it easier to observe statistical trends. The comparable, unadjusted unemployment rate for the state was 5.1 percent for November 2020, and 6.4 percent for the nation. Kentucky's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate was released on Dec. 17, 2020, and can be viewed at https://kentucky.gov/Pages/Activity-stream.aspx?n=EducationCabinet&prId=461. In that release, Kentucky's statewide unemployment rate and employment levels are adjusted to observe statistical trends by removing seasonal influences such as weather changes, harvests, holidays and school openings and closings. For more information regarding seasonal fluctuations, visit the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics at https://www.bls.gov/cps/cps_htgm.htm#why. Unemployment statistics are based on estimates and are compiled to measure trends rather than actually to count people working. Civilian labor force statistics include non-military workers and unemployed Kentuckians who are actively seeking work. They do not include unemployed Kentuckians who have not looked for employment within the past four weeks. The data should only be compared to the same month in previous years.
