According to the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, the unemployment rate for Fulton County has decreased from 4.8% in February to 4.3% in March of 2023.
This number is near what unemployment was at in March of 2022 with that number being at 4.2%.
Williams County however has slightly increased from its position of 3.4% in February to 3.5% in March of 2023.
This is better than what numbers show unemployment was at back in March of 2022, with those numbers being set at 3.7%.
Unemployment for the entire United States and The State of Ohio also saw a decrease in their percentages. Ohio decreased from 3.9% in February to 3.8% in March and the U.S. saw a decrease from 3.6% to 3.5%.
This may all change sometime this year however as the United States Federal Reserve expects unemployment to increase to at least 4.4% by the end of this year.
