The city of Elkhart is now boasting one of the lowest unemployment rates in the nation.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics it was 3.5-percent last spring.

Elkhart has come a long way since the height of the recession when unemployment was more than 20-percent.

Now that things are going well, who should get credit for the success?

That's the subject of a recently published New York Times article and our reporting partners at The Elkhart Truth are digging deeper into it as well.

Tim Vandenack with The Elkhart Truth spoke with ABC57 about the story he is writing.
