Unemployment rate up in McHenry County
A new report shows McHenry County’s unemployment rate edged up slightly from a year ago.
That’s no surprise to Amir Fattahian of Algonquin, who has been out of work for nearly three years.”The job market is not very good right now,” he said.
The county’s unemployment rate was 9.7 percent in January, up from 9.5 percent in January 2012, according to preliminary data released Thursday by the U.S. Department of Labor and the Illinois Department of Employment Security.
