Unemployment ticks up slightly in Maine's metro areas

Maine's major urban areas saw slight increases in unemployment in January, according to the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Bangor's jobless rate rose from 3.4% in December to 3.5% in January. Lewiston-Auburn's jobless rate went from 3.5% to 3.6%. And Portland-South Portland saw unemployment go from 2.9% to 3%.

All of those figures are also higher than they were in Jan. 2023, but still show Maine has a very tight labor market.
