NYS Labor Market Information – September 2021

Each month, the Department of Labor (DOL) releases labor market information for NYS and the local regions. Here you will find the most up-to-date labor market information for the Hudson Valley, and more specifically, Rockland County.

In September 2021, New York State’s unemployment rate decreased from 7.4% to 7.1%. The comparable rate for the U.S. was 4.8% in September 2021.

Hudson Valley Region:

The September 2021 unemployment rate for the Orange-Rockland-Westchester Region is 4.3 percent. That is down from August 2021 (5.2 percent) and down significantly from September 2021 (6.9 percent).  From July to August 2021, the Hudson Valley saw job loss in all sectors except for Professional and Business Services and Financial Activities. The largest area of loss was seen in the services industry as more individuals are returning to work.

In September 2021, the region as a whole saw a decrease in unemployment rates with Sullivan and Westchester Counties recording the highest unemployment rate (4.4 percent) within the region.

  • Putnam County 3.9 percent
  • Rockland County 4.0 percent
  • Ulster County 4.2 percent
  • Dutchess County 4.2 percent
  • Orange County 4.3 percent
  • Westchester County  4.4 percent
  • Sullivan County 4.4 percent

Rockland County Unemployment Rates:

September 20214.0%
August 20215.0%
September 20206.6%
Source: NYS DOL

Extended unemployment has ended in September 2021, but employers are still understaffed and eager to hire trained individuals. Many employers have sign on bonuses and other incentives to remain employed at their business. If you are looking to return to work, but do not have the skills to enter into a new industry, Rockland Works is here to help! Give us a call to discuss our On-the-Job Training Program as well as our Individual Training Awards: (845) 770-2900.
