Statewide Iowa (Radio Iowa) — Iowa’s unemployment rate held steady in February, marking the third straight month of 2.9% unemployment in the state.
Iowa Workforce Development spokesman Cory Kelly says some businesses have still been adding workers despite the very low unemployment.
He says the number of jobs has steadily been increasing from last February when the unemployment rate was three-point-four percent.
The job additions have offset loses — with one area in particular continuing to see fewer workers.
Kelly says Iowa’s unemployment rate continues to be one of the lowest in the country.
