The Trend: St. Joseph County lost more than 150 jobs from Q3 2020 to Q4 2020. Between April 2021 and May 2021, the unemployment rate and labor force participation rate both increased, while the employment-to-population ratio decreased. This is likely a sign that employment in the area is declining, but individuals are staying in the labor market and looking for other job opportunities. Job postings were higher in May than in April, with slightly more postings in manufacturing and accommodation and food services.
