Meanwhile, the unemployment rate increased from 2.8% to 3.3%, still below the national rate. The population grew 2.4%, from about 607,400 in 2024 to 622,200 in 2025. State of play: Professional and business services saw the most employment growth from 2024 to 2025, followed by construction, leisure and hospitality, and education and health services, according to Mervin Jebaraj, director at the Walton College's Center for Business and Economic Research, who shared the data and discussed the report at an event Friday.
