County jobless rate at highest level since 2005 By Keith GushardAugust’s labor force numbers also are higher than August 2007 when the total labor force was 41,800, with 39,800 employed and 2,100 unemployed.
Crawford County’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate of 5.9 percent for August was slightly higher than Pennsylvania’s rate of 5.8 percent, but it was better than the national rate of 6.1 percent for August. The majority of unemployment rates for other counties in northwestern Pennsylvania showed increases in August. Only Mercer County saw a lower unemployment rate. It was one of only three of Pennsylvania’s 67 counties to see an improvement in August, said Nimal. The rates, listed August, then July, were: Erie, 6.0, 5.4; Forest, 8.8, 7.9; Lawrence, 6.5 6.1; McKean, 7.0, 6.3; Mercer, 6.8. 7.3; Venango, 6.3, 5.6; and Warren, 5.5, 4.9.
