County jobless rates for May released today

Please keep in mind:  Unemployment rates at the county level are not seasonally adjusted because the sample size is too small to accommodate that additional analysis. Therefore, they should not be compared directly to the seasonally adjusted statewide rate that we announced last week. 

Above the map with the county unemployment rates, we’ve posted the statewide, non-seasonally adjusted unemployment rate for direct comparison.

Here is the release schedule for Washington’s labor statistics for the remainder of 2013.

** County numbers are released on Tuesdays, except for Jan. 23, which is a Wednesday.
