Kentucky’s unemployment average for July came in higher than the national unemployment rate, which the U.S. Department of Labor reported at 4.2 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 1,385 people from June to July, bringing the civilian labor force to about 2,118,000.
The Education and Labor Cabinet says the Trade, Transportation, and Utilities, Other Services, Construction, Professional and Business Services, Financial Activities, and Information Services sectors saw increases from June to July. Numbers in the Mining and Logging sector were unchanged. The Leisure and Hospitality, Educational and Health Services, Government, and Manufacturing sectors saw decreases.
