July unemployment
soared
Morrow County's unemployment
rate soared to 14 3% in July because
o f layoffs m the food processing in
dustry in both Morrow and Umatilla
counties, reports a press release
from the Stale Employment D ivi
sion
These layoffs were responsible for
the rise in the number o f
unemployed fn»m 330 in June to 640
in July
The improvement (or stability) in
all other sectors demonstrates that
M orrow's economy is still tontinu
ing to improve This is a more im

economic health than the unemploy
menl rate, the Employment division
said Once the icmporary layoffs in
food processing are over. M onow's
unemployment rate should return to
lower than year ago levels
