Fewer people joined the unemployment rolls last week compared to the week before.
There were 7,964 new unemployment claims filed in Alabama last week, down from 8,581 filed the previous week, according to the Alabama Department of Labor.
Of the claims filed between Oct. 11 and Oct. 17, there were 4,032 related to the COVID-19 pandemic. That’s 51 percent, compared to 36 percent the previous week.
The preliminary, seasonally adjusted unemployment rate inched up to 2.9 percent from December's 2.8 percent.
“This job growth continues improving, and we know that Alabama’s employers are continuing to add jobs each and every month,” said Washington.
A variety of medical experts, including at UAB, have published statistics that show masks were an effective way to prevent the COVID-19 transmission.
Only three states have a higher disease frequency and mortality rate than Alabama, and just two states have a lower life expectancy.
