Ottawa Work Picture Brighter
Our overall operation indicates an improved labor economy for this area says Cal Ewing manager of Ottawa office of Kansas Employment Service. The office serves Franklin Anderson and Miami Counties. The improvement shows up in fewer people registering for work and fewer applications for unemployment compensation. Job openings were fewer this month indicating a minimum of turnover in jobs. The number of new applications was lower than any November in the past four years. Weather aided continued construction keeping unemployment claims low. The 63 new claims are about half the usual for this season. The manager does not foresee any great change in the labor situation which should remain stable with some seasonal layoffs if weather turns bad.
