FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) For the second straight month, the unemployment rate in Fresno County remained steady at 10% and slightly lower than last year s annual average of 11.3%, according to figures just released by California s Employment Development Department (EDD). This is usually when we see the peak in regards to the highest unemployment rates. January, February, March is usually when it peaks and part of that is when agriculture slows down, construction slows down and retail normally slows down, says labor market consultant Steven Gutierrez.
