Maine has low unemployment rate for record length

Sun Journal -The unemployment rate in Maine continues to hold steady at a little more than 3% amid a record-setting stretch of low joblessness. The Maine Department of Labor says the preliminary adjusted unemployment estimate for April was 3.3%. That’s the same as last year, and down from 3.4% in March. The state says the unemployment rate has been less than 4% for 40 consecutive months, which is the longest such stretch on record.
