St. Lawrence County lost 100 non-farm jobs in April compared to one year ago, according to preliminary figures the Department of Labor released Thursday.

DOL says there were 38,700 non-farm jobs last month and 38,800 the same month last year. That’s a .3 percent decrease, DOL said.

To our east in Franklin County, that number was flat. They had 18,700 non-farm jobs last month and in April 2016, DOL said.
