Gov. Laura Kelly on Monday celebrated Kansas hitting the lowest unemployment rate in the state’s recorded history, at 2.3 percent. Unemployment continues to decline in the state, even as the unemployment rate nationally holds flat. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Kansas has the sixth lowest unemployment rate in the country relative to other states. “My Administration has worked to ensure that every Kansan who wants a job, can have a job,” said Gov. Kelly. “I’m proud that we have achieved the lowest unemployment rate in our state’s history at 2.3 percent, over a full percentage point below the nation’s unemployment rate. We will continue breaking economic records by prioritizing job creation, business investment, and workforce development.”
