Washington Co. Unemployment Up
Posted: March 12, 2010 @ 6:42 am In Today's Local News

Kerry Koonce with Iowa Workforce Development says the statewide jobless rate edged up slightly as well, but there is some good news: modest gains were made in construction, education and healthcare. While unemployment numbers were up statewide and in Washington County in January, they’re still well below the national rate of 9.7 percent.
