Legislative
Notes
By Delegate Mary P. Compton
Union, West Virginia - Economic
development is crucial for the
advancement of our state.
Like other states, West Virginia
has been on the unemployment
roller coaster over the past couple
of years. However, recently West
Virginia's job market seems to be
moving in a more positive direction.
According to the July 1999
economic summary released by the
West Virginia Bureau of
for jobs, that is too many. West Bureau of Employment Programs.
Virginians are hard working "We're continuing to show good solid
individuals and those willing to net growth and diminishing
work should have the opportunity to
do so.
Other statewide statistics show
that 62 companies announced the
creation of 5,688 new jobs during the
first six months of this year. This
figure is up from 5,261 jobs which
were announced at this time last
year. From these statistics we are
unemployment ."
I hope that West Virginia
continues to climb upward on the
economic roller coaster. I must
admit, that our state is long overdue
and should take advantage of this
positive employment growth.
As always, if you have any
legislative questions or concerns,
Employment Programs, the state
unemployment rate has dropped
five-tenths of a percentage point to
6.4 percent.
During a 31 day period, the
number of unemployed state
residents decreased by 3,400.
Various counties across the state
declared a significant drop in the
unemployment rate. For example,
14 counties recorded
unemployment rates that were
better than the average during the
month of May.
The survey provided that as of
May 1999, Monroe County's
unemployment rate was better than
the average, with only 140 residents
unemployed. However, we must
continue to reduce these figures.
Unfortunately, Summers County
was below the state's average, with
390 citizens unemployed• Whether
we have one individual or 390
unemployed people out there looking
