Job alert: These Palmer jobs are accepting applications

(PALMER, AK.) The national job market appears to be improving at an increasing rate, according to recent federal data — and these local companies are hiring in Palmer.

The most recent numbers available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed nonfarm payrolls rising by 916,000 in March, with the unemployment rate falling 0.2% percentage points to 6.0%.

The rise more than doubled the gain seen in February, when 379,000 jobs were added. In total, it brought the number of unemployed people in the country down to 9.7 million.

While the numbers were an improvement, however, unemployment was still considerably higher than around the same time last year, showing the lasting impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the U.S. economy.

March’s unemployment rate was 2.5 percentage points higher than the pre-pandemic level in February 2020. The number of unemployed people was likewise close to double its pre-pandemic number.

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.
