Employment & Unemployment Press Releases

KYSTATS publishes the most recent estimates of the state’s unemployment rate, labor force, and industry employment in press releases issued by the Kentucky Education and Workforce Development Cabinet. Users should note that the estimates provided in monthly statewide releases are seasonally adjusted, while annual and sub-state level estimates are not seasonally adjusted. Estimates are preliminary and subject to revision.

Due to the suspension of Federal government services, releases of employment and unemployment estimates may be delayed.
