The Trend: Branch County continues to show some small growth, with an increase of more than 50 jobs from Q3 2020 to Q4 2020. Between April 2021 and May 2021, the unemployment rate, labor force participation rate, and employment-to-population ratio increased. This is likely a sign that individuals are reentering the labor market but not necessarily finding jobs right away. Job postings were lower in May than in April, with
fewer postings in retail trade and manufacturing.
