Lowest in the nation; perhaps the lowest in North Dakota ever.
If there are 30,000 people in the Williston area, 0.8% means 240 folks in the Williston area are looking for a job but cannot find one.
When you go to the link, read the comments. Sad.

ReplyDeleteIt is a % of the labor force.
248 unemployed
29,933 working
30,191 labor force
Only slightly more working than in Ward Co.
Scroll down for list.

Yes, I guess I subconsciously thought it was the "labor" force. There are more than 240 elementary students in Williams County and I know they aren't working. So, subconsciously I must have thought 30,000 "labor force."
DeleteBut my 30,000 was just a wild ass guess. Kind of scary how "accurate" it was, but it was just a WAG. Hmmmm. I've been at this way too long.
