Iowa Jobless Rate Steady in January

The state labor department says Iowa's unemployment rate remained steady at 6.1 percent in January, the same as December. KCCI reports Iowa's Workforce Development says there were 102-thousand people out of work in January, down 500 from December, but about 900 higher than in January 2010, when the jobless rate also was at 6.1 percent. Department head Teresa Wahlert says Iowa's economic recovery is gaining traction.
