Unemployment rates rose in May By AMBER DILLEYGlasgow Daily Times “The durable goods subsector accounted for the majority of the year-over-year employment decrease reflecting the malaise resulting from the automobile slump impacting Kentucky. Consumers, grappling with layoffs, tighter credit conditions and declining household wealth, have developed a reticence to opening their pocketbooks and wallets, choosing instead to postpone purchases of long-lasting manufactured goods such as automobiles.”
A few areas of employment increased their amount of workers in May. The government sector, which includes public education, public administration agencies and state-owned hospitals, increased by 2,100 positions in May. This sector had 1,700 fewer jobs than in May 2008, however. The state’s educational and health services sector rose by 900 jobs. This sector includes private and nonprofit establishments that provide either education and training or health care and social assistance. “General population growth and a longer life expectancy help explain the continued expansion of health care employment,” Detzel said. “In addition, as the baby boom generation ages, there is an increased need for health services.”
