RELATED: Ohio lost 2,800 jobs in October
The City of Dayton saw unemployment fall to 5.5 percent in October — down from 5.8 percent in September, and up from 5.4 percent last October.
Statewide, unemployment rates fell in 75 counties, held steady in seven counties, and increased in six.
City and county rates are unadjusted for seasonal changes in hiring and, therefore, are not comparable to the state rate, which edged up last month to 4.9 percent — the same as the national rate — from 4.8 percent in September, the jobs department reported earlier this month.
