Branch County continues to show some small growth, with an increase of more than 50 jobs from Q3 2020 to Q4 2020. Between May 2021 and June 2021, the unemployment rate held steady, while the labor force participation rate and employment-to-population ratio increased. This is likely a sign that individuals are reentering the labor market but not necessarily finding jobs right away. Job postings were higher in June than in May, with truck driver as the most in-demand job.
