[3][4][5] Pulaski County comprises the Somerset, KY Micropolitan Statistical Area.

As is typical of the Unionist bloc of south-central Kentucky comprising the eastern Pennyroyal Plateau and the western part of the Eastern Coalfield, Pulaski County has been deep red Republican ever since the Civil War.

The Somerset Noe Education Center offers a variety of degree and certificate programs.

The college offers academic, general education, and technical curricula leading to certificates, diplomas, and associate degrees.

Through the city limits of Somerset, Highway 27 stems into a three-lane road with u-turn and left turn options at each stoplight.

Many food chains, local businesses and commerce centers are strewn along the highway, due to accessibility and consistent traffic throughout the area.

Intersecting these highways are many junctions and bypasses that have been paved in order to allow quick and easy traffic flow through the county, revolving around the circumscribed Kentucky Route 914 around the outskirts of Somerset, in which transporters can enter through or exit from the city from any direction easily.

Despite the grand area of the county, the accessibility from one end to the other is smooth and expedited.

Lake Cumberland Regional Airport is located in Pulaski County, on the southern end of Somerset's US 27 business district.

It is mostly used for general aviation, and from late 2008 until February 2010, was served by one commercial airline, Locair.
