Unemployment Report: Cook County Jobless Rate Declines in March

While unemployment throughout Illinois has remained mostly unchanged since February, overall 218,500 private sector jobs have been added since January 2010, according to the Illinois Department of Employment Security.

The jobless rate in Cook County decreased from 10.5 percent to 9.7 percent from February 2013 to March, and is more than the county's 9.2 percent rate from March 2012. Unemployment rates in Illinois were 9.5 percent in March, a slight decrease over February and slightly higher from the same time in 2012, according to new figures released in late April.  The Illinois Department of Employment Security generally reports unemployment figures for municipalities with populations of 25,000 or more people.

Compared with March 2012, unemployment …
