After a delay due to the government shutdown, the Kentucky Center for Statistics has released the state’s September employment report.

The center says the state unemployment average for September was 4.7 percent. That is unchanged from the month of August, and is down .6 percent from the September 2024 average of 5.3 percent.

Kentucky’s unemployment average for September came in higher than the national unemployment rate, which the U.S. Department of Labor reported at 4.4 percent.

The Kentucky Education and Labor Cabinet says the state’s civilian labor force, which includes people currently employed and people actively searching for work, saw a decrease of 20 people from August to September, bringing the total civilian labor force to 2,114,917 people.

The Education and Labor Cabinet says the Trade, Transportation, and Utilities, Educational and Health Services, Government, Other Services, Professional and Business Services, and Construction sectors saw increases from August to September. Numbers in the Mining and Logging Sector were unchanged, while decreases were seen in the Manufacturing, Information Services, Leisure and Hospitality, and Financial Activities sectors.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics will not publish an October unemployment report. Visit the Kentucky Center for Statistics website for more about unemployment figures and labor market information.
