Unemployment In Central Oregon Steady; Expect Big Jump In April

BENDK, OR  -- The Central Oregon unemployment rate looked really good in February. Economist Damon Runberg says Deschutes county dropped to 3-point4-per cent…Crook county was at 5-per cent and Jefferson county at 4-and a half per cent. Runberg says those numbers will certainly show an increase in the March report. He says that‘s because the reference week will include March 12th  which was before the COVID-19 restrictions started taking hold across the nation. Runberg expects the April report will tell the really bad news about unemployment.
