Tennessee Announces Unemployment Rates For June

  • Friday, July 29, 2016
With the seasonal closing of schools, county unemployment rates for June 2016, released today, show the rates increased in all 95 Tennessee counties.
For the month of June, Davidson County had the state’s lowest major metropolitan rate at 3.8 percent, increasing from 2.9 percent the previous month.
Knox County was 4.3 percent in June, increasing from 3.2 percent the previous month. The Hamilton County rate was 4.9 percent, up from 3.7 in May. Shelby County was 5.8 percent, up from 4.4 percent the previous month.

Tennessee’s preliminary unemployment rate for June was 4.1 percent, remaining the same from the previous month’s revised rate. The U.S. preliminary rate for June was 4.9 percent, up two tenths of a percentage point from May.
The state and national unemployment rates are seasonally adjusted while the county unemployment rates are not. Seasonal adjustment is a statistical technique that eliminates the influences of weather, holidays, the opening and closing of schools, and other recurring seasonal events from economic time series.
