The unemployment rate in Kentucky saw another decline.

The Kentucky Center for Statistics says the state unemployment average for August was 4.7 percent. That is down .2 percent from the month of July, and down .5 percent from the August 2024 average of 5.2 percent.

Kentucky’s unemployment average for August came in higher than the national unemployment rate, which the U.S. Department of Labor reported at 4.3 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 2,963 people from July to August, bringing the total civilian labor force to about 2,115,000.

The Education and Labor Cabinet says the Leisure and Hospitality, Government, Professional and Business Services, Trade, Transportation, and Utilities, Financial Activities, and Construction sectors saw increases from July to August. Numbers in the Mining and Logging sector saw no change. The Information Services, Manufacturing, Other Services, and Educational and Health Services Sectors saw decreases.
