The Trend: Branch County employment grew from Q3 2021 to Q4 2021, experiencing an increase of 151 jobs. Between April and May, the unemployment rate, labor force participation rate, and employment-to- population ratio all increased. This is likely a sign that some individuals are reentering the labor force and finding work, while others are still looking. Job postings were lower in May than in April because of a methodology change in posting data collection by Labor Insight from Burning Glass Technologies, a database of job-posting information. Tractor-trailer truck driver was the most in-demand position.
