Unemployment rates in Sedgwick County are going back down. Right now it’s just below 11% that’s a large difference from 18.5% back in April. The Workforce Alliance Center and Mayor Brandon Whipple say that’s due to people finding jobs. Part of that being the reopening of schools and additional jobs like child care, and bus companies opening. “We are seeing growth in certain sectors and we want to make sure that folks know about that and some are taking advantage of it which is maybe why our numbers are heading in the right direction,” said Mayor of Wichita, Brandon Whipple. The Workforce Alliance Center has more than 40,000 jobs across Kansas that residents can apply for. And if you’re not able to find a job that matches your skills, they have classes to help you find new strengths.
