Indiana saw its rate drop 0.2 percentage points to 5.9 percent in March, which is 0.3 percentage points lower than a year ago.
“Indiana’s economic indicators in 2015 remain positive on the whole,” said IDWD commissioner Steven J. Braun in a press release. “Additionally, continued claims for unemployment insurance remain at their lowest levels in 15 years, which is also an encouraging trend as we enter the spring and summer months.”
