Unemployment

I have to say, this often unemployment stat by the Daily News seems fairly meaningless.



Newburyport's unemployment rate for January was 6.2 percent, meaning 604 Newburyporters are without jobs. Amesbury was slightly higher at 7.8 percent, or 668 people.


I'm not sure if people can remain in Newburyport if they lose their job. Do we have an unnaturally low unemployment rate?
