County lost 100 aerospace manufacturing jobs in June
EVERETT — Snohomish County shed another 100 aerospace manufacturing jobs in June, according to recent data from the state Employment Security Department. Since last year, the county has lost more than 7,000 jobs in aerospace manufacturing.
“Snohomish County’s recovery is lagging behind the state as aerospace and related manufacturing industries continue to struggle,” wrote regional labor economist Anneliese Vance-Sherman, with the Employment Security Department.
Statewide, however, June was a good month for Washington employment numbers, Vance-Sherman wrote. The state is continuing to recover jobs lost during the pandemic, and the unemployment rate continues to drop.
Snohomish County’s unemployment rate has improved drastically since last year, according to a labor area report Vance-Sherman wrote for June. The county’s June 2021 unemployment rate, which is not seasonally adjusted, was 6.1%. Last year, the June unemployment rate was 11.2%. (Snohomish County recorded its highest unemployment rate ever in April 2020, when it reached 19.3%.)
