Good morning, Ross County. Here's a stat that'll make you think twice: Ross County's unemployment rate just hit 3.7%βa number that tells two stories at once. It means jobs are out there, but it also means local businesses are scrambling to fill positions in an increasingly tight labor market. Economic indicators like these don't just live in spreadsheets; they determine whether that "Help Wanted" sign stays in the window or comes down.
Speaking of economic realities, Chillicothe City Schools is navigating its own numbers game with recent budget discussions and facility decisions that'll shape classrooms for years to come. And because Ross County can't let a week pass without reminding us why we live here, local athletes just earned All-Area Football honorsβproof that while we're crunching numbers and planning budgets, we're also raising champions.

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud."
ΓΒΓΒ’ΓΒΓΒΓΒΓΒ 1 Corinthians 13:4
This verse reminds us that love is not just a feeling, but a choice to act with kindness and humility towards others. As we strive to live out this definition of love, we can bring joy and warmth to those around us.
