Employment Data

The Culpeper Virginia Employment Commission has released its employment figures for March. In Rappahannock, of the 2,606 people in the civilian labor force, 2,481 were employed in March. That places the unemployment figure at 125 people or 4.8 percent.

The March figures do not reflect any significant change in the labor force. Initial figures for the number of employed rose slightly due to seasonal increases in construction, trades and agriculture.

• Graduation Time Changed

The Baccalaureate Service will be held in the RCHS gym on Sunday, June 2 at 7:30 p.m.
