October jobless numbers Nearly all Tennessee counties continued to have unemployment rates below 5.0 percent in October, following a record-breaking September when, for the first time ever, each of the state’s 95 counties experienced a jobless rate below 5 percent. October marked the fifth consecutive month Tennessee’s statewide unemployment rate was in record territory. “To have so many counties under 5 percent unemployment, as we head into the holiday season, is a good thing,” says Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development Commissioner Burns Phillips. “It means more Tennesseans are able to provide for their families and that is the goal of Governor Haslam’s workforce initiatives.” Local jobless numbers look like this; Cocke 3.9 percent, Jefferson 3 percent, Hamblen 3.3 percent, Greene 3.9 and Sevier 2.5 percent unemployed.
