The record-setting rates have shown consistent improvement during the past five months. The statistics show that even rural counties with historic unemployment have few people unemployed. The employment indicator implies a positive economic picture, despite rising gasoline, energy, insurance and product costs, with fewer people collecting unemployment or leaving the area.
