Counties with the highest unemployment in Tennessee

While today’s unemployment rates are significantly lower than the COVID-19 pandemic peak of 14.7% experienced in April 2020, the fear of job losses remains as workers stare down an uncertain economic future.

Stacker compiled a list of counties with the highest unemployment rates in Tennessee using Bureau of Labor Statistics data. Counties are ranked by their preliminary unemployment rate in January 2024, with initial ties broken by the number of unemployed people within that county, though some ties may remain. County unemployment rates are released about a month behind the national numbers. County-level unemployment rates are not seasonally adjusted.

  1. Well look at that.. Cocke co. is #1. Con-agra pulled out of Newport which is in Cocke co. Last year hundreds of good paying jobs left the area.

  2. As the climate change cult says... any job in the US can be off shored. We can regulate it out.
