After a slight increase at the start of 2024, Tennessee’s unemployment rate dropped to near record-low levels in February.

Department of Labor and Workforce Development data showed the new seasonally adjusted statewide rate for the month at 3.3%, a decrease of 0.2 from January’s revised rate.

The state’s all-time low seasonally adjusted unemployment rate is 3.1%, which was recorded during April, May, and June in 2023.

The latest jobless number for February mirrors the state’s statistic from the same month last year.

Tennessee will release the February 2024 unemployment data for each of the state’s 95 counties on Thursday, March 28th.
