PITTSBURG, Kan. — The unemployment rate increased slightly in Kansas in July, and in Crawford County, where the rate was already higher than the statewide average, it climbed a little more sharply, though both local and state-level numbers were still well below where they were at this time last year. The statewide unemployment rate was up to 3.8 percent in July from 3.7 percent in June, according to data released Friday by the Kansas Department of Labor. In Crawford County, the July unemployment rate was 4.7 percent, compared to 4.3 percent in June — though that increase is not unexpected around this time of year.
