A Point One Improvement.

After several months of going up, the Delaware unemployment rate finally went in the right direction (i.e. down) this past month, though just barely.

Delaware’s unemployment rate in August fell to 7.3 percent, down from 7.4 percent in July, according to Delaware’s labor department, which released its Monthly Labor Review this morning. There were 32,100 unemployed Delaware residents in August, down from 32,600 in July, and the same as one year ago, when the unemployment rate was listed at 7.2 percent, according to the report. Non-farm employment in Delaware was listed at 424,900, up from 424,800 in July, and up by 7,300 jobs from August 2012.
