Unemployment rates across the Upper Cumberland region are three-tenths of a percentage point higher than the state in the latest figures released. However, some counties saw their rates drop. Cumberland County is now at 4.3 percent, down from 5.1 percent last month. Fentress County is at 4.2, Overton at 3.9, and Pickett and White counties sit at 3.5 percent. All four counties’ rates are lower than last month’s reported unemployment rate.
