There's some good economic news from the Department of Employment Security.

The jobless rate fell from 6.6 percent in April to 6.4 percent last month, the first decline since late 2015. Employment security officials aren't exactly breaking out the party hats though.

They say the jobless rate fell for the first time in seven months because the size of the state's workforce declined. Job gains were seen in both the professional and business services and financial activities sectors.

Meanwhile jobs in the education realm, health services arena and government cut the most jobs.
