News » DWD optimistic despite jump in jobless rates
Mar. 18, 2010
Jobless figures released by the state yesterday weren't very encouraging, but a state official says there is some cause for optimism.
The unemployment rate increased in January in all of Wisconsin's 72 counties, and in every larger city. But department of workforce development spokesman John Dipko expects the jobless rate to drop in the second quarter.
The unadjusted unemployment rate was 9 percent in Appleton and Green Bay in January. That represented a 1.2 percent increase in Appleton and a 1.3 percent jump in Green Bay.
Dipko says it looks like the state's job market has hit bottom and will start a slow but steady recovery. |
