Maine's unemployment rate remained at 2.8% in September, for a fourth straight month. The percentage of Mainers in the labor force rose slightly in September.

Statistics released last week by the federal government did show the number of job listings in Maine is down over the last year, but the latest employment figures show Maine continues to suffer more from a lack of workers than a lack of jobs.
