Unemployment in Kentucky in February came in slightly higher than where it was the year prior.

The Kentucky Center for Statistics says the state unemployment average for February was 5.3 percent. That is an increase from February 2024 when the rate was reported at 4.7 percent, but the rate is unchanged from January.

Kentucky’s unemployment average also came in higher in February than the national unemployment rate, which the U.S. Department of Labor reported at 4.1 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 about 5,200 people from January to February, bringing the civilian labor force to about 2,115,000.

The education and labor cabinet says the Construction, Educational and Health Services, Manufacturing, Government, Financial Activities, Information Services, and Professional and Business Services sectors saw gains in February. Decreases were seen in the Mining and Logging, Trade, Transportation, and Utilities, and Leisure and Hospitality sectors.
