Posted

There are roughly 100 less non-farm jobs in St. Lawrence County this March than in March of 2014, according to a report from the New York State Department of Labor.

The report shows 41,700 non-farm jobs in 2015 compared to 41,800 in March last year. That’s a decrease of 0.2 percent.

In Franklin County, to our east, the number dropped from March 2014 to March 2015 by about 100 jobs, from 19,100 to 19,000, or about .5 percent.

In the Watertown-Fort Drum “metro area,” about 41,100 people are employed in non-farm jobs. That’s up 1 percent over the same time last year when 40,700 people were employed in non-farm jobs.
