New job opportunities lead to slight uptick in Kentucky unemployment rate | Kentucky
SUMMARY: Kentucky’s unemployment rate rose to 5.1% in November, up from 4.3% a year earlier, exceeding the national rate of 4.2%. Despite 2.1 million residents in the workforce and a monthly increase of 5,500 nonfarm jobs, the number of unemployed also grew. Experts note more workers are entering the labor force than gaining jobs, causing the unemployment rise. Governor Andy Beshear recently highlighted the state’s economic success, with 170 companies planning to create over 9,400 jobs and invest nearly $7 billion. Beshear attributes this growth to a strong economy, while Republicans credit tax-cutting policies for boosting job creation.
