For the third month in a row, St. Lawrence County gained non-farm jobs compared to a year ago.

The state Department of Labor says there were 40,800 non-farm jobs in June and 40,400 in June 2014. That’s a 1 percent increase.

To our east in Franklin County, non-farm jobs fell by 1 percent. The DOL reports 19,000 last month and 19,200 in June 2014.

Jefferson County, to our west, saw a .2 percent drop. They had 43,800 non-farm jobs last month and 43,900 a year ago.

St. Lawrence County gained about 500 non-farm jobs in May compared to May 2014, according to the state Department of Labor.

The DOL says there were 42,700 non-farm jobs last month and 42,200 in May last year.

That represents a 1.2 percent hike, according to the report.

In April, the DOL reported 100 more farm jobs than a year ago, evening out the 100 fewer they reported in March.
