In the past couple of years, West Central Indiana has created more than 2,000 manufacturing jobs. But it's only filled about 500, according to the Greater Lafayette Chamber of Commerce.

Indiana's private sector added nearly 7,000 jobs last month. Yet the unemployment rate climbed a tenth of a percent to 4.7 percent, its highest level since June.

Carrier Corp. confirmed Wednesday that it plans to relocate its Indianapolis manufacturing operations to Mexico. A move expected to eliminate 1,400 jobs in Indianapolis.

Indiana's unemployment rate decreased for the seventh consecutive month in September, falling to its lowest level in eight years.

A contractor with the U.S. military says it's getting rid of 360 jobs in its Fort Wayne facility as it moves radio manufacturing to an existing plant in Rochester, New York.
