The local unemployment rate is historically low.
It’s 1.4% in Elkhart County and 2.3% in St. Joseph County.
Both counties are below the state average at 3%.
The national average at 4.2%.
Despite the low rate, now hiring signs can be seen are most retail stores, restaurants, manufacturing facilities and more.
