HISTORICAL UNEMPLOYMENT 

January 1973-Dec 2009

Average= 8.5%
Standard Deviation= 4.6%

Any number over the red line would be considered an outlier, where SOMETHING MAJOR is affecting the system. This would be the management failure and subsequent closure of the Osh Kosh plant in Celina.
Any number over the yellow line would be "suspected" that something is wrong and should be investigated.
Any number over the green line doesn't mean much except watch it for further movement. However, several values in a row over this line means something has changed.

Our current unemployment rate is out of range high due to the current recession. If FULL EMPLOYMENT means anything under 4%, then Clay County needs only 322 more jobs to get there!

One interesting thing to note is the decrease in our labor force since 2006. Is this because people are moving away? The census will tell us more.
