Midland County's jobless rate dropped to 6.7 percent in October, following a statewide trend of lower unemployment. A smaller labor force and higher number of people employed combined to reduce the rate from 7.5 percent in September and 8.1 percent in October 2010. The numbers were released ahead of Gov. Rick Snyder's Thursday stop at Delta College, where he is expected to speak about matching the skills of the state's workforce with employers' needs. Delta College has worked closely with local employers such as The Dow Chemical Co. and Dow Kokam to create short-term Fast Start career training programs to meet immediate hiring needs for chemical processing, battery production and solar manufacturing. Delta College said Snyder will speak at 10 a.m. to an audience invited by his staff.
