INDIANAPOLIS – Indiana’s unemployment rate remained unchanged in February.

According to the Indiana Department of Workforce Development, the state’s jobless rate stands at 3.5 percent, which is below the national rate of 3.9 percent.

Indiana’s labor force stands at 3,389,372, a decrease of 8,675 from the previous month.

"Indiana's overall economic footing and outlook remain solid with near historically low unemployment," said DWD Commissioner Richard Paulk. "Peak private sector employment - 2,845,200 jobs - is driven by robust labor force participation in the key 25-54 demographic."

As of March 18, there were 101,325 open job postings throughout the state.
