Economic Recovery May Be Better Than Thought In Delaware

 

            The latest revised Labor Department figures indicate that the Delaware job market has been recovering a lot faster than many economists had originally thought.

            The statewide jobless rate actually fell below 8 percent in June 2010 rather than in October 2011.

            The First State’s unemployment rate reached a high of 8.5 percent rather than 8.8 percent that had been previously reported.
