The Indiana Department of Workforce Development (DWD) earlier this week released its unemployment report for the month of November. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics had earlier released its own report showing that the national unemployment rate had dipped to 8.6% after being at 9.0% in October. For November, the State of Indiana rate stayed at 9.0%, while the Starke County rate increased slightly from 10.3% up to 10.5%. In a mixed bag of reporting, about half of all Indiana counties saw some increase in their rate from October, and about the same number saw a decrease. On the national level, 42 states reported a decrease, 3 went up, and 4 stayed the same.
