Regional jobs site seen as benefit amid wage hike
The chamber president argues the small increase can help area employers recruit from a broader pool of talent. Kansas's January unemployment rate rose to 6.4 percent, the highest since 1983, up from 4.9 percent in December and 4.3 percent in January 2008. The rise partly reflects seasonal declines and a slower economy with job cuts.
