Friends,

 

First off, thank you for your continuous effort getting Indiana Back on Track. Because of your work, Governor Holcomb had some good news to report this week:

 

Indiana unemployment rates have dropped below the national average, while our labor participation rates are moving above the national average!

Because of COVID-19, Indiana’s unemployment rate is still much higher than it’s been in years, but Hoosier opportunity is still strong! That’s because there are currently 93,000 jobs ready to be filled by Hoosiers across the state – 9,000 of which have been added just in the last six months.

 

You can find and apply for those jobs here!

 

Indiana’s housing market is also booming. Home sales are currently on pace to beat last year’s sales. And single-family home building permits are stronger so far in 2020 than they were through this point of 2019 – even in the midst of a pandemic.

 

And the good news does not stop yet! Hoosier-made RVs and boats are selling through the roof, while Indiana’s auto dealers are clamoring for more inventory! The country wants to buy what Indiana is building!

 

Governor Holcomb said it best, “The numbers are trending in the right direction, and it’s because of a team effort – and that’s all Hoosiers.”

 

So Hoosiers, thank you again for your continued effort and thank you in advance for helping Indiana get Back on Track – and stay Back on Track!
