The Bureau of Labor Statistics has delayed the release of state jobless data from last month. State labor departments, including the Rhode Island Department of Labor and Training, had expected to release the information next Friday. But spokeswoman Laura Hart now says the data may not be available until March 3 or later. The most recent information from Rhode Island's labor market showed a troubling growth in unemployment at the end of the year. "The number of Rhode Islanders scouring help-wanted ads rose [in December] by 3,700, boosting the unemployment rate from 9.3 percent, the highest in New England," to 10 percent, The Providence Journal reported last month.
