Indiana's unemployment rate is still at a near-historic low of 3.1 percent. The state’s unemployment rate has remained around 3 percent for over a year.

Total employment is up significantly across the state compared to a year ago, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data released Friday. That estimate is still nearly at a record-high for the last decade.

Indiana’s 2022 annual unemployment rate was 3 percent – meaning, on average, about 100,000 Hoosiers were out of work but actively seeking something. The last time the state’s unemployment level was or rate was that low was in 2000.
