The Trend: St. Joseph County lost more than 150 jobs from Q3 2020 to Q4 2020. Between March and April, the unemployment rate, employment-to-population ratio, and labor force participation rate all decreased. This is likely a sign that individuals are discouraged from finding work and are leaving the labor force. Even so, there are positive indications that there may now be more job opportunities available: job postings were higher in April than in March, with slightly more postings in Retail Trade, Accommodation and Food Services, and Transportation and Warehousing.
