“’It is encouraging to see that Alabama’s economy is supporting more jobs today than ever in our 203 year history,’ said Governor Kay Ivey. ‘While we continue maintaining a low unemployment rate, the fact that our businesses are growing jobs is certainly something to be grateful for this holiday season. We will continue working hard to support Alabamians as we weather a challenging national climate.’” – The Office of Alabama Governor Kay Ivey, December 16, 2022
