The Fort Wayne MSA s jobless rate declined in November to 4.8%, slightly less than the 5.1% recorded in October, according to data released Monday by the Indiana Department of Workforce Development.
The unemployment rate was 3.1% in November 2019. Experts say year-to-year comparisons are the most accurate because they eliminate seasonal variations. The novel coronavirus pandemic and its effects on the labor market have upended that conventional wisdom, however.

Indiana s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate was 5.0% in November, well below the national seasonally adjusted jobless rate of 6.7%. Experts say county and MSA data are too small to make seasonal adjustments.
