WHAT'S DRIVING OUR ECONOMY?
|
|
Job gains. Unemployment declines.
In January and February, Maryland’s unemployment rate declined to 2.9 percent, a huge decrease from 4.0 percent in December. The drastically improved unemployment rate isn't a result of there being more employment. The revised figures are due to more than 50,000 people being removed from the labor force altogether. Since far more people were removed from the unemployment column, this results in a lower unemployment rate, but it does not necessarily suggest a stronger economy.
