Unemployment applications continue to rise across the state, with more than 200-thousand people filing in Missouri. Brian Thompson with Lebanon Regional Economic Development Incorporated tells us that unemployment filings right now are equal to a full 12 months..

 

Thompson said while those jobs are expected to recover, it won’t happen overnight….

Employers who were required to lay off workers, may be able to recover more quickly due to the Paycheck Protection loan Program that is being made available to them.
