We have not remained immune to the unemployment crisis that has hit the nation but statistically we are doing pretty well. Listed as #14 by state with a 7.2% unemployment rate puts us way below the national average of 9.7%. Yes we are a vibrant community holding our own in this economic downturn.

One of the leading factors to our lower unemployment rate is our diverse employment field. Though government and defense-related fields make up the biggest part of our employment sector we also have a healthy diversity in tourism, commercial, retail and high-tech industries too.
