employment report

Indiana’s unemployment rate ticked up a tenth of a percentage point last month, to 3.7 percent — the highest the rate has been in more than two years.

Nearly one in four mothers in a February 2022 survey by the Bipartisan Policy Center and Morning Consult said they have considered leaving a job because of a “lack of reasonable accommodations or fear of discrimination.”

The state lost both employed and unemployed workers from the total labor force as thousands of jobs remain unfilled.
