County jobless rate 6 percent
Clinton County’s official unemployment rate for March was 6.0 percent, according to the Ohio Department of Job & Family Services (JFS) in a news release Tuesday.
However, an Ohio JFS spokesperson said people should keep in mind that the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on jobs will not be seen in unemployment rates until the April reports (released in May) because the survey of businesses each month concludes on the 12th.
Ohio’s first executive order to shut down businesses occurred on March 15.
