Iowa’s unemployment rate decreases to 10.0 percent in May

still remain down 38 percent versus last year’s mark, but larger recovery should be seen as the summer pro-gresses and consumers be-come more comfortable with new physical-distancing safety protocols at local busi-nesses. Manufacturing also showed some rebound in May (+2,900). All of the job gains were in nondurable goods factories (+3,300). Du-rable goods shops continued to show some weakness and edged down 400 jobs. Pro-fessional and business ser-vices added 1,600 jobs and were fueled by administra-tive support and waste man-agement industries. Other services added 1,300 jobs following losses stretching back to January. Retail trade showed some signs of recov-ery in May (+5,100) and fu-eled a gain of 1,200 jobs since April. This gain was tem-pered by a loss in wholesale trade and transportation and warehousing. Education and health services lost 800 jobs in May due to losses in private education (-1,500).

Annually, total nonfarm employment remains down 11.0 percent compared to last May. Leisure and hospi-tality has trimmed the most from their payrolls (-54,300 jobs or 37.7 percent). Edu-cation and health care lags behind by 23,400 jobs and trade and transportation by 21,300. Government is down 30,300 jobs (-11.6 percent) as schools and public adminis-tration entities reduced staff in May.

DES MOINES - Iowa’s seasonally adjusted unem-ployment rate decreased to 10.0 percent in May. The state’s jobless rate was 2.7 percent one year ago. The U.S. unemployment rate dropped to 13.3 percent in May.

“Given Iowa did not begin to reopen until May, it is not surprising that the unem-ployment rate remains at 10%. There are signs, how-ever, that more people are returning to work as we see the total number of claims decline each week,” said Di-rector Beth Townsend, Iowa Workforce Development. “Moving forward, we are looking at the numbers of initial and continuing claims to determine the shape and speed of our recovery. Iowa’s economy was strong going into the pandemic and we have over 50K job postings on IowaWORKS for Iowans looking for new jobs: www.IowaWORKS.gov. We con-tinue to encourage open communication between employers and employees to create and implement safe work practices. We encour-age employers to follow the guidelines provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Oc-cupational Health and Safety Administration. COVID-19 guidance and resources for various industries can be found on https://www.iowa-workforcedevelopment.gov/COVID-19.”

The number of unem-ployed Iowans declined to 168,100 in May from 188,000 in April. The current esti-mate is 121,000 higher than the year ago level of 47,100.

The total number of work-ing Iowans fell to 1,520,000 in May. This figure was 4,600 less than April and 163,900 lower than one year ago.

Seasonally Adjusted Nonfarm EmploymentIowa establishments

added 15,800 jobs in May as firms began cautious re-opening following social distancing measures in re-sponse to coronavirus (CO-VID-19). This month’s gain is historically large, yet still small relative to the April drop due to quarantine ef-forts. Larger expansions are expected to occur in later summer months. The May increase was the first job gain for Iowa since October and was largely fueled by leisure and hospitality. Gov-ernment again showed large declines at the local educa-tion level and may be the re-sult of cancelled summer ac-tivities. Overall, government shed 8,400 jobs in May while private sectors increased by 24,200 jobs.

Leisure and hospital-ity added 18,200 jobs in May, helping ease some of the job loss in April due to distanc-ing measures. Arts, enter-tainment, and recreation added 7,000 and accommo-dations and food services grew by 11,200. Even with the large gains, these sectors
