Thurston county unemployment rates and employment data for November 2018 are now available online. Use the historical estimates report to view prior months’ data.
Please keep in mind: Unemployment rates at the county level are not seasonally adjusted because the sample size is too small to accommodate that additional analysis. Therefore, they should not be compared directly to the seasonally adjusted statewide rate that we announced last week (Monthly employment report).
ESD has labor market information and tools, including a video tutorial to showcase popular information and data.
