Fairfax Unemployment Still High

In state numbers released last week, Marin County's unemployment rate of 8 percent continued to be lower than the state average of 12 percent.

But, in some of the towns, the numbers remained high.

Fairfax, which has a total work force of just 4,700, has an unemployment of 13.3 percent. San Anselmo, though, next door, has an unemployment rate of just 9.9 percent.

In Marin County, where many people are self-employed or work on a consulting/contract basis, unemployment numbers can fail to capture decreases in work or income.
