The Trend: St. Joseph County continues to rebound gaining more than 2,000 jobs from Q2 2020 to Q3 2020. Between December 2020 to January 2021, the unemployment rate rose by 1.2 percentage points. It is possible that this is because individuals are once again looking for employment. An increasing labor force participation rate suggests this may be the case, while an increasing employment-to- population ratio suggests that people are finding employment. Job postings were higher in January 2021 than in December 2020, with slightly more postings in Manufacturing.
