According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, the unemployment rate in Indiana for August 2020 stands at 6.4%, down from July’s reported 7.8% and below the national rate of 8.4%.
The state’s labor force had a net increase of almost 42,000 workers over the previous month, thanks to a combined decrease of more than 46,000 unemployed Hoosiers and an increase of more than 88,000 jobs.
