Iowa’s unemployment rate dropped again in June, to three point seven percent after holding steady in May.
Iowa Workforce Development spokesman, Ed Wallace says the drop in the unemployment rate in June continues moving the state toward what’s called “full employment.”


Wallace says there were three-thousand non-farm jobs added in June.

The unemployment rate was four-point-four percent one year ago in June. The U-S unemployment rate dropped to five-point-three percent in June.
