Unemployment rates up again in Russell Co. Jobless rates were down year-to-year in all 119 other Kentucky counties in May 2015 vs. May 2014.. Rates up slightly in Adair and nearby counties compared to April, 2015. By Manoj Shanker, Cathy Lindsey FRANKFORT, Ky. (June 25, 2015) - Unemployment rates fell in 119 Kentucky counties between May 2014 and May 2015, but rose in Russell County, according to the Kentucky Office of Employment and Training, an agency of the Kentucky Education and Workforce Development Cabinet.
Woodford County recorded the lowest jobless rate in the Commonwealth at 3.8 percent. It was followed by Fayette and Oldham counties, 4 percent each; Owen and Shelby counties, 4.1 percent each; Boone and Scott counties, 4.2 percent each; and Anderson, Campbell, Jessamine, and Spencer counties, 4.3 percent each. Magoffin County recorded the state's highest unemployment rate - 12.7 percent. It was followed by Harlan County, 11.1 percent; Leslie and Letcher counties, 10.3 percent; Russell County, 9.7 percent; Clay County, 9.5 percent; Knott County, 9.3 percent; Breathitt County, 9.2 percent; and Elliott and Wolfe counties, 9.1 percent each. 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 statistics in this news release are not seasonally adjusted because of the small sample size for each county. The data should only be compared to the same month in previous years.
