Watching Employment in 2010

With 76,700 employed for December, Licking County closes the book on 2010 with another month showing employment gains.

All in all, I'd say Alan Beaulieu was right, watching employment was the way to track recovery in 2010. Thanks, Alan.

Here's what the employment stats read for 2010:

Employment has remained above 76,000 people for eight months.

For the year, data shows 2,800 more people are in the employment column than were in that column in January.

Nine of the past 11 months have seen rises in employment.
