Unemployment Rates Drop in Several States

According to numbers released the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there’s slight growth on the job front. Unemployment rates fell in two-thirds of the states last month!

Plus, unemployment rates dropped below seven percent in 22 states in April; that’s less than the national average of 8.1 percent. That said, unemployment rose in five states and remained unchanged in eight. Considering almost half of our nation’s states saw a drop, that seems like a cause for a mini-celebration, yes?

As for the states with the lowest unemployment rates? Check out North Dakota: Their rate in April was three percent.
