The Trend: Kalamazoo County continues to rebound, having gained more than 7,700 jobs from Q2 2020 to Q3 2020. Between January 2021 and February 2021, the unemployment rate decreased by 0.9 percentage points. However, this may not be a positive sign, as both the employment-to-population ratio and the labor force participation rate also decreased from January 2021 to February 2021. There are positive indications that there may now be more job opportunities available, as job postings were higher in February 2021 than in January 2021, with slightly more postings in Health Care and Social Assistance and in Manufacturing.
