The Trend: Kalamazoo County continues to rebound, gaining more than 2,000 jobs from Q3 2020 to Q4 2020. Between April 2021 and May 2021, the unemployment rate, employment-to-population ratio, and labor force participation rate increased. This is likely a sign that individuals are reentering the labor market, but not necessarily finding jobs right away. Job postings were higher in May than in April, with more postings in health care and social assistance, as well as accommodation and food services.
