Speak Up: Delaware unemployment rate steady since March

Despite some industry sectors in the First State seeing slight growth, Delaware’s unemployment rate has remained unchanged since March — at 4.5%.

• Why, when there are so many job openings? — Thomas J. Chilton
• You can’t even get a job at some places part time for $9 an hour if you’re not vaccinated. — Dorothy Murray
• That’s well above the national average, isn’t it? Great job, Carney! — Steve Durnan
• Just because it’s holding steady doesn’t mean anything. It just means people ran out of benefits and can’t be tracked anymore. False flags. — Jackie Veal Cates
• Jobs recovered are not jobs created. — Bob Hice
• Ask yourself: Why it is at 4.5% when there are jobs all over this state to be had? How are these people living? — Laura Wing
• Of course, it is because everyone has to work to pay for the 25% Biden inflation tax and $5-a-gallon gas. — Marc Auger
• Plenty of jobs available for anybody wanting to work. — Eddie Curley
• Willing to pay well? — Pete Schonert
