Kentucky Jobless Rate Falls

Kentucky's unemployment rate remained below 9 percent in February, dropping to 8.7 percent. That's down a tad from 8.8 percent in January, which marked the first time in three years that the jobless rate had been below 9 percent.

However, the state's measure continued to lag the national rate, which remained at 8.3 percent.
