The Indiana unemployment mark has shown little change in more than a year. The national level has gone during that time from about the same as Indiana's to 7.4 percent for July.
Indiana's jobless rate is lower than neighboring states other than Ohio.
Ten of Indiana's 92 counties have unemployment marks higher than 10 percent. The worst rates are in Fayette and Sullivan counties.
