If you’re one of the millions of Americans looking for work, you should know that there are plenty of opportunities to find Baltimore jobs.
Despite losing some workers amidst the current economy, the Baltimore-Towson area has managed to maintain a relatively low unemployment rate. During August, the area saw its unemployment rate decrease from 7.9 percent to 7.7 percent, which was lower than the national unemployment rate at the time of 9.7 percent.
Even though the unemployment rate dropped, the area did lose some jobs during August, according to the U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics. That month the area had a total non-farm employment of 1,277,900 workers, which is down from 1,286,500 workers during July and a 3 percent decrease from last year.
