The Michigan Works! Southwest Region continues to recover, gaining more than 2,000 jobs from Q3 2020 to Q4 2020. Between May 2021 and June 2021, the unemployment rate stayed the same and the labor force participation rate and employment-to-population ratio both 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 June than in May, with registered nurse as the most in-demand job.
