County unemployment numbers for December released today
17-003
OLYMPIA – County unemployment rates and employment data for December 2016 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.
At the top of the state map on which we’ve posted the county unemployment rates, we’ve posted the statewide, non-seasonally adjusted unemployment rate for direct comparison.
ESD has new labor market information and tools, including a video tutorial to showcase popular information and data.
