The unemployment rate for the Peoria MSA rose to 10.3% in June largely due to an increase in the labor force. Over 1,400 jobs were created in the Peoria MSA in June, but that was outpaced by almost 3,700 people joining the labor force. The increase in labor force shows that more people are actively seeking work and many of them are new to the Peoria metro workforce (meaning they weren't previously working) or they have moved to the Peoria metro in search of work.
