According to the Employment Security Commission of North Carolina’s latest review, unemployment rates decreased in 48 of North Carolina’s 100 counties in July. These unemployment rates were not seasonally adjusted but give an idea of what’s happening in the state. There were still unemployment increases in 39 counties, with State and Local government job loss being the biggest cause of the increase. These job losses mainly affected North Carolina’s Metropolitan areas and among government jobs, educational services were the most affected. The Ashville Metropolitan area for example lost 3,100 government jobs in July. That’s 12.1 % of the government workforce in that area.
