• Over the past 10 years, the unemployment rate in Leon County ranged from a low in 2006 of 2.7% to a high in 2011 at 8.0%.

• Overall, the peer communities experienced similar unemployment

trends since 2003 which demonstrates the national economic influence in these local communities.

• It is worth noting that the shifting of unemployment rates was unique

for Leon County because its unemployment rate began to increase in 2006, a year before its peers with exception to Madison, WI. In addition, Leon County’s unemployment rate continued to increase from 2010 to 2011 while the rest of the peer communities were starting to recover from the recession. In short, Leon’s unemployment rate spiked first and recovered last.
