(Sioux Falls, SD) — Sioux Falls is boasting the lowest unemployment rates in the country — nearly three percent below the national average. The city’s August report shows about 11-thousand open jobs but just over three-thousand people unemployed. Finance Director Shawn Pritchett says that’s created challenges for businesses trying to fill positions, even as job postings remain strong. Local employers like LifeScape say applications have improved since COVID, but the growing city’s job market remains competitive and tough to pin down.
