PORTLAND, Maine - Maine's metropolitan areas saw declines in unemployment in June.
Joblessness fell below 4 percent in all three of the state's urban areas: down to 3.8 percent in Bangor, 3.5 percent in Lewiston-Auburn, and 3 percent in Portland-South Portland.
All of those figures were not only below last month's numbers, but were also below the unemployment rates for June of 2015.
Maine's average unemployment rate statewide was 3.7 percent, two-tenths of a percent higher than May's rate.
