Unemployment rates across the Dayton metro region in November came up by a tenth of 1 percent from October, as increases in holiday hiring were countered by decreases in employment in other industry sectors, said Ohio Department of Job and Family Services on Friday.

The Dayton metro region of Greene, Miami, Montgomery and Preble counties had a November unemployment rate of 6.7 percent, up from 6.6 percent the month before in October, according to the state agency. That’s the same as 27,200 local people unemployed, out of a total civilian labor force of 406,900.

Local level unemployment rates are not seasonally adjusted. Ohio’s overall seasonally adjusted unemployment rate dropped to 6.8 percent in November from 6.9 percent in October, which Ohio Job and Family Services previously reported.

“We did not see significant change statewide,” said Ben Johnson, spokesman for Ohio Job and Family Services.

Statewide, Ohioans saw 7,700 additional retail jobs from October to November, Johnson said. But the total increase in employment statewide was just 1,600 jobs month-to-month because of losses in other industries, such as administrative and support jobs, construction, and leisure and hospitality, he said.

In the Dayton metro, retail trade added 2,500 jobs in November, but with that, total employment was still down 1,600 jobs from the month before due to decreases in construction, small decreases in transportation, warehouse, and utilities, administrative support, government employment, and leisure and hospitality, Johnson said.

“There was in fact holiday retail hiring, but statewide it was largely countered by decreases in other sectors,” he said. “What we really saw both at the state level and most counties was really only small changes. The job market in most counties and statewide was mostly unchanged from October to November.”

Looking back a year or more, unemployment rates have come down significantly. The Dayton metro’s November 2011 unemployment rate was 8 percent, and it was 9.8 percent in November 2010, according to state figures.

Unemployment rates consider people who are without work, but actively looking for a job.
