Unemployment dropped in Fayette County to 4 percent in August. That is a .1 percent decrease over July and is .8 percent lower than in August 2014. Data from Fayette County Economic Development suggests that generally speaking, the county does see a roller-coaster effect when it comes to unemployment as it rises in the winter when not as many construction jobs are available.
