Arkansas' unemployment rate fell to 3.4% in April, marking the third consecutive month of decline, according to the Arkansas Division of Workforce Services and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. This drop coincided with a record-breaking 1,377,000 non-farm payroll jobs in the state and a rise in the civilian labor force. Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders credited the job growth to Arkansas' strong workforce, low taxes, and pro-business environment.
