While there is general speculation about how the Clarksville economy is faring one year after the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, the numbers for various economic indexes really tell the tale.
Statewide, unemployment is well below where it stood in spring 2020. At that time, Montgomery County reached 15% joblessness amid business shutdowns.
Numbers for the first two months of 2021 are still being gathered by the state Department of Labor and Workforce Development, but the Clarksville area is currently hovering around a jobless rate of 6.8%.
That s a mid-range figure compared to neighboring counties such as Stewart County whose unemployment rate is identical at 6.8%, Houston County (7.6%), Dickson County (5%), Cheatham County (4.9%), Robertson County (5.1%) and Metro Nashville-Davidson County (5.7%).
