Ready for a change? These Mattoon jobs are accepting applications

(Mattoon, IL) After long months of the COVID-19 pandemic putting a kink in U.S. economic prospects, the national job market is looking slightly up — and these Mattoon companies are hiring.

Nonfarm payrolls rose by 379,000 in February, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and the unemployment rate held steady around 6.2%. The figures are the most recent available from the federal agency.

That compared with expectations that 210,000 new jobs would be added last month. While the increase in employment was greater than expected, employment nationwide was still down 6.5% from the same time last year, showing the ongoing effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the U.S. economy.

At Newsbreak, our mission is to provide you with local resources that can help you adapt to the circumstances in your area. That includes providing up-to-date information on the impact of COVID-19 on the economy and job prospects.
