October Indiana Employment Report

Private Sector Employment Reaches Preliminary Record Peak

Indiana’s unemployment rate stands at 3.5 percent for October and remains lower than the national rate of 3.7 percent. With the exception of one month when it was equal (October 2014), Indiana’s unemployment rate now has been below the U.S. rate for more than five years. The monthly unemployment rate is a U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) indicator that reflects the number of unemployed people seeking employment within the prior four weeks as a percentage of the labor force.

Indiana’s labor force had a net increase of 5,303 over the previous month. This was a result of a 2,411 increase in unemployed residents and an increase of 2,892 employed residents. Indiana’s total labor force, which includes both Hoosiers employed and those seeking employment, stands at 3.40 million, and the state’s 65.1 percent labor force participation rate remains above the national rate of 62.9 percent.

October 2018 Employment Charts

Employment by Sector

Private sector employment has grown by more than 25,500 over the year, and has increased by 3,400 over the previous month, primarily due to gains in the Private Educational and Health Services (2,500) and the Construction (1,500) sectors. Gains were partially offset by losses in the Leisure and Hospitality (-2,500) and the Other (-100), which includes Mining and Logging, IT and Other Services sectors. Total private employment reached a preliminary record highpoint of 2,713,200, which is 24,300 above the official December 2017 peak. The new October 2018 peak, like all data within this report, is subject to monthly revisions and annual benchmarking. In addition, preliminary Construction jobs are at the highest level since April 2008.

COA: Sisters’ estate tort claims against brother may proceed

0

Katie Stancombe for www.theindianalawyer.com

The Indiana Court of Appeals affirmed the denial of a son’s motion to dismiss when it found his sisters’ tort claims against him arising from a dispute over inheritance could move forward in the trial court.

Following the death of their respective parents, Melvin and Rebecca Dillman, Gerald Scott and Rhonda Vance served as co-executors on Rebecca’s probate estate.

During the probate proceedings, Rhonda and her two sisters came to believe Gerald and his two brothers had induced Rebecca to transfer assets to the sons at below fair market value. The daughters believed the transferred assets included “real estate holdings, a thriving hardware business, a funeral home and adjoining land, a farm with eighty-three acres, two boats, two trailers, automobiles, and jewelry.”

Because the sons were granted powers of attorney by Rebecca, the daughters argued that the assets available to be distributed to the six children after Rebecca’s death were reduced by the sons.

In June 2016, all three daughters filed sued Gerald — two individually for tortious interference with inheritance and tortious interference with contract — and another individually, against him in his role as executor of the Rebecca’s estate. The trial court ultimately dismissed Gerald in his capacity as executor and denied his motion for dismissal of the tort claims.

On appeal, Gerald argued the trial court erred when it denied his motion to dismiss pursuant to Indiana Trial Rule 12(B)(6) because the daughters failed to state a claim that could be addressed in the trial court.

Specifically, Gerald asserted their claims were either against the estate or on behalf of the estate and therefore must be brought in the estate in probate court and not as separate tort claims in trial court.

The appellate court disagreed, finding that the daughters did not have a remedy in the estate because their claims were not filed within nine months of the death of Rebecca.

It also found that the assets no longer in Rebecca’s estate to be distributed as the will specified were not apparent until the accounting was filed, which occurred after the probate time limits had lapsed. Therefore, the tort claims could proceed to the trial court.

“As it pertains to inheritance, we have acknowledged that Indiana recognizes a party may make a separate tort claim, provided they cannot acquire adequate relief in the probate court,” Judge Melissa May wrote. “Here, we have just that situation — Daughters cannot obtain adequate relief within the Estate because they were unaware of the loss of assets until after the probate code time limits had lapsed. It is against public policy to extend the probate court time limits.

“Therefore, Daughters have rightfully filed their claims as a separate tort action and the trial court did not err when it denied Gerald’s motion to dismiss Daughters’ Tort Claims.  Accordingly, we affirm.”

The case is Gerald F. Scott v. Cheryl Carrico (Dillman), Carla Cook (Dillman), and Rhonda K. Vance, 59A01-1712-CT-2878.

 

Volleyball earns second-ever win over UNI

Aces take big win over Panthers

 Entering Friday’s match, the Purple Aces volleyball team was 1-50 in its series against UNI.  Evansville did not let that stat phase them as they rallied for a 3-2 victory over the Panthers inside Meeks Family Fieldhouse.

Alondra Vazquez set her career mark with 25 kills in the game and she added 25 digs for UE (10-20, 4-13 MVC).  Behind her was Mildrelis Rodriguez, who posted 24 kills while Rachel Tam finished with 14.  Olivia Goldstein had 32 digs on the night and Allana McInnis recorded 59 assists.  UNI (21-9, 15-2 MVC) saw Karlie Taylor finish with 34 kills while Rachel Koop tied McInnis’ mark with 59 helpers.

In game one, the Aces had a nice start, jumping out to an 8-4 lead in a run that was capped off by kills from Mildrelis Rodriguez and Rachel Tam.  The lead for UE reached 10-5 on Rodriguez’ 5th kill of the game before the Aces went up 13-7.  Evansville continued to play well and it paid off as the Aces opened up an 18-10 lead.  Alondra Vazquez notched her 4th kill before Tam added a service ace.

The Panthers battled back.  Trailing 21-13, UNI closed the gap to four at 22-18, but the Aces scored two to retake a 6-point lead.  The Panthers staged another comeback, scoring the next four, but Tam gave UE the win with her 7th kill as the Aces won, 25-22.

Once again, the Aces had a strong start, taking a 3-1 lead in the second set as Rodriguez notched an ace.  UNI rallied with a 7-1 run to go up 8-4, but the Aces rallied back.  Two Vazquez kills helped Evansville knot the score at 13-13 before the Aces took a 15-14 lead on a UNI error.  Every point was tied up leading to a 23-23 score.  A large point for UE came when Cecilia Thon entered the game and had an ace on her first serve.  UNI responded with an ace of their own to go up 24-23 and finished off the 25-23 win to tie the match.

For the third game in a row, UE had the upper hand at the start.  An ace from Rodriguez and the 13th kill by Vazquez helped the Aces go up 5-0 before UNI reeled off four in a row before tying it up at 6-6.  Evansville wrestled away an 11-8 lead on a pair of Vazquez aces, but Northern Iowa scored three in a row before opening up an 18-15 advantage.  UE never gave up and its persistence paid off as they tied it at 21-21 on another Rodriguez kill.  She added an ace that gave UE a 23-22 edge.  The Panthers made a late rally once again, taking a 2-1 lead on the strength of a 27-25 win.

Two more Rodriguez aces helped UE score the first three points before UNI tied it at 4-4.  The Aces were able to fend off the challenge and retake the lead at 11-7 when Rodriguez recorded her 19th kill.  Tam added her 10th kill to push the Evansville lead to 17-11.  Coming down the homestretch, UE continued to lead at 20-15 before the Panthers staged another rally, cutting the gap to just a pair at 21-19.  Tam was the hero once again, notching a kill and block assist to push the lead back to four.  The 21st kill for Vazquez proved to be a big one as she gave Evansville a 24-19 lead on the next point.  UNI notched three in a row, but Vazquez set her career mark in kills in the clinching point.

Elena Redmond posted a service ace early in game five to send the Aces out to a 4-1 lead.  Tam and Kerra Cornist capped it off with a block.  Cornist combined on another block to push the lead to 5-1.  Vazquez registered two more kills as the lead went to 7-2.  Evansville’s lead grew from there, out to 11-3.  The Panthers made another late rally, but the Aces held off by a 15-9 final to take the match.
