McHenry County employment picture evolving
WOODSTOCK – Despite lower unemployment rates, McHenry County's job outlook remains muted.
Unemployment stood at 7.5 percent in November, down from 8.7 percent from the prior year. In September, the rate had fallen to 7 percent, the lowest since December 2008, when it was 7 percent.
But those figures mask some of the challenges area businesses and workers could face in the coming years, according to a report by the McHenry County Workforce Network Board.
