Unemployment rate falls in county,
state rate is lowest in four years
Clark County’s seasonally unadjusted unemployment rate dropped to 6.7
percent for March, an over one-half percent decline from February and better by
over two and a half points over the 9.1 unadjusted unemployment rate here in
March 2004.
According to state Employment Security commissioner
Karen Lee, “March marked the first time
since March 1998 that Washington’s unemployment rate was as low as the national
average.”
The state’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate dropped
to 5.2 percent from 5.5 percent in February. The unadjusted rate for the state
was 5.7 percent, leaving Clark County’s rate a full percentage point higher.
State data show that Clark County added 800 jobs during
the month, bringing the total employed here to 183,700.
