The Kansas Department of Labor (KDOL) has released the September 2025 Kansas Labor Report, and Lyon County's unemployment rate has dropped to 4.6%, down from 5.6% in the August 2025 report.

Lyon County's 4.6% unemployment rate ties with Elk County as the fourth highest rate in the state.

The last labor report was released in September with data from August 2025. Due to the federal government shutdown, all Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) operations were suspended from Oct. 1, 2025, through Nov. 12, 2025, delaying publishing of reports.

An October 2025 labor report will not be published, and the November 2025 report will be released on January 7, 2026.
