November unemployment in Kentucky held steady from numbers seen in September.
The Kentucky Center for Statistics says the state unemployment average for November was 4.7 percent. That is unchanged from the month of September, and down .7 percent from the November 2024 average of 5.4 percent.
Kentucky’s unemployment average for November came in just above the national unemployment rate, which the U.S. Department of Labor reported at 4.6 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 an increase of 826 people from September to November, bringing the total civilian labor force to 2,115,793 people.
The Education and Labor Cabinet says the Manufacturing, Educational and Health Services, Professional and Business Services, Leisure and Hospitality, Construction, and Information Services sectors saw gains in November. Numbers in the Other Services and Mining and Logging sectors were unchanged. Decreases were seen in the Government, Financial Activities, and Trade, Transportation, and Utilities sectors.
Due to the government shutdown, 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.
