Indiana Unemployment sits currently at about ten percent or a bit higher. That is the bad news.
The good news is that those same companies which are letting people go, are still going to have to hire for certain jobs, even at the same time they down size other departments.

The current US overall unemployment rate sits at about 8.9 percent so the Indiana rate is a bit higher than this. Until recently it was lower than those surrounding states, but has crept upward in the past few months.

Indiana Unemployment Rate

An average of 15,000 Indiana occupants might lose unemployment benefits every week starting off in May if Congress does not extend federal government benefits for anyone needing work in excess of six months, a state official states.

About 270,000 Hoosiers are presently getting unemployment benefits, said Marc Lotter, communications director for the Indiana Department of Workforce Development.

Benefits fall into one of 6 levels. The foremost is state unemployment, which can be constantly obtainable; the 5 other levels contain federally financed extensions. Every stage provides a new number of weeks of benefits, with all of six jointly totaling as much as ninety nine weeks, Lotter said.
