Kansas Unemployment Rate Up 0.1% | News

 

The state of Kansas saw its unemployment rate increase by 0.1% from November to December, and Labette County saw no change. The county rate was 2.8% for both months.

In November 2022, the state reported 2.8% as a percentage of jobless. The rate jumped to 2.9% in December 2022. The Kansas rate in December 2021 was 2.8%.

Last week the Kansas Department of Labor (KDOL) released its state jobs statistics for December 2022. These numbers are seasonally adjusted unemployment rates.

Seasonal adjustment is a statistical technique that eliminates the influences of weather, holidays, school opening and closing, and other seasonal events from an economic time series.

From December 2021 to December 2022, private sector jobs increased by 37,900, said labor economist Nathan Kessler.

“Sectors that have experienced robust growth include manufacturing, education and health services, collectively adding 15,900 jobs for the year,” Kessler said.
