Missouri's unemployment rate dipped in August as employers statewide posted a net gain in job growth.
The state's jobless rate dropped to 4% last month from 4.2% in July, according to a news release. The data from the Missouri Economic Research and Information Center is seasonally adjusted.
Seasonally adjusted employment rose by 7,300 jobs during August, with goods-producing and service-providing industries leading the increase.
State officials warned, however, that "short-term shortages of semiconductor chips may hold down employment in manufacturing in the next few months."
The congregation at Crossway Baptist Church is building a children’s wing at the west end of the church, and beginning in 2024, it will be home to a Christian academy.
