Unemployment Drops in All New York Counties
All 62 counties in New York state are seeing a drop in their unemployment rate over the past year according to New York State Department of Labor data released October 25.
Tioga and Chenango Counties posted non-seasonably adjusted unemployment rats of less than three percent in September while Broome, Delaware and Cortland Counties reported rates of between three and 3.9 percent. Broome’s rate was 3.3 percent.
The Binghamton Labor Market, which includes Tioga County, went from a rate of 4.1 percent in September 2021 to 3.1 percent last month.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul pointed out that in September of 2020, New York was in the throes of the COVID-19 pandemic with more than 980,000 residents out of work.
The Democrat says, “Climbing out of that economic hole has been difficult for families across New York and there is more work to do.”
