Every county except Grant showed the lowest unemployment rate since 2008, but Grant was near its post-recession low. Officials said Grant County experienced the largest increase in nonfarm payroll employment of the eastern counties, adding 100 jobs over the year. Both the public and pri- vate sectors added jobs, with leisure and hospitali- ty experiencing the largest change, adding 40 jobs. The county’s seasonal- ly adjusted unemployment rate for February, the latest figure available, was 10.1 percent, unchanged from January. The rate was only slightly better one year earlier, at 10 percent. Grant County’s non-ad- justed rate, while improved from over a year ago, is the highest in the state at 13.8 percent, followed by Wal- lowa at 12.1 percent and Harney at 10.5 percent. Other notes from the department’s report on the six-county region: • Harney County’s non- farm payroll employment MEETING NOTICE Our Services by a registered nurse include: • Pedi-Spa treatment for your feet • Particular attention to Diabetic Foot • Multifunctional massage chair • Skin Inspection • Callus Removal • Nail Cutting We also check your blood pressure, blood sugar level and oxygen saturation. Call With a special communion and Easter message increased by 60 jobs over the year. Job gains were in the private sector as the public sector was un- changed. Strength in goods producing industries and leisure and hospitality largely spurred the growth. • Baker County expe- rienced over-the-year job losses in nonfarm payroll employment, losing 10 jobs. Job losses in the pri- vate sector were partially offset by gains in the pub- lic sector. Strength in con- struction and retail trade were offset by weakness in educational and health ser- vices and other services. • Malheur County expe- rienced over-the-year job losses in nonfarm payroll employment, losing 30 jobs. Losses in the public sector were partially off- set by gains in the private sector. Local government experienced the largest change, losing 70 jobs. • Union County’s non- farm payroll employment remained virtually un- changed, losing 10 jobs in preliminary estimates. Gains in state government, leisure and hospitality, and educational and health ser- vices were offset by weak- ness in professional and business services and retail trade. • Wallowa County ex- perienced over-the-year job gains in nonfarm pay- roll employment, add- ing 30 jobs. Net gains were in the public sector as the private sector was unchanged. Strength in local government, manu- facturing, and professional and business services were partially offset by weak- ness in leisure and hospi- tality. Katrina’s is now open.
