Springfield — (FROM NEWS SUN)
A decline in monthly unemployment rates for Springfield and for Clark and Champaign counties shows the local economy has improved but doesn’t necessarily mean those seeking employment have found jobs, according to local officials watching employment trends.
Springfield’s monthly unemployment rate dropped to 7.3 percent in September from 7.6 percent the month before, according to the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services. Clark County fell from 7.2 percent to 6.9 percent. Champaign County dropped four-tenths of a percent to 7 percent.
