Washington added another 11,200 new jobs from March to April, but the state’s unemployment rate remains at 5.8 percent for the fifth month in a row, according to the state’s Employment Security Department.

The state last week released the seasonally adjusted, preliminary jobs estimates from the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics as part of its April Monthly Employment Report.

“Washington’s labor market continues to expand at roughly the same pace that we add new jobs,” Paul Turek, Employment Security Department labor economist, said.

Clallam County’s unemployment rate is 7.9 percent, 29th out of 39 counties in Washington, the Employment Security Department announced in its statewide figures released on May 24.

The state’s economy continues to steadily grow with more than 100,000 new jobs since April 2015, Turek said.

The U.S. unemployment rate was 5.0 percent for the second month in a row. Unemployment in the Seattle/Bellevue/Everett area dropped from 4.9 percent in March to a preliminary 4.8 percent in April.

In Washington, the Employment Security Department paid unemployment insurance benefits to 65,201 people in April.

The state’s labor force increased by 11,000 people to nearly 3.63 million from March to April. The labor force is the total number of people, both employed and unemployed, over age 16. In the Seattle/Bellevue/Everett region, the labor force grew by only 100 people over the same period.
