MARYLAND MARKS 6 MONTHS OF RECORD-LOW UNEMPLOYMENT

Maryland is at another all-time low for unemployment.  New figures from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics show Maryland added two-thousand jobs last month, and the jobless rate dropped two-tenths of one percent, to one-point-eight percent.  It’s the sixth straight month of record-low unemployment since record-keeping began.  There were about 58-thousand jobless Marylanders in July, out of a labor force of about three-point-two-million.
