The April employment report for Okanogan County was released late last week, and much like the April report for Chelan and Douglas counties, it had plenty of good news, according to Regional Labor Economist Don Meseck:
Meseck did a deep dive into the raw numbers, and it shows the civilian labor force numbers are rising, and the unemployment numbers are going down:
What's more, looks like almost all industries across Okanogan County have added jobs in the last year:
We said “almost all industries;” while government in aggregate was up, federal government employment was off eight percent from last April, and state and local government education was down almost three percent.
