California tied with Rhode Island for highest jobless rate

Unemployment in the United States is slowly but surely decreasing.  Bureau of Labor Statistics have recently added that “for the U.S. as a whole, hiring accelerated in February, with employers adding 236,000 net new jobs compared with 119,000 in January.”  They are not amazing improvements but we are getting there.  California although has the highest unemployment than the other 48 states, their employment rate has increased.  There were only 8 states that their unemployment significantly increased, for instance, “Illinois and Mississippi each saw a jump of 0.4 of a percentage point in their jobless rates, to 9% and 9.3% respectively.”  The unemployment rate may be high such as in California but the improvement on employment has improved rapidly.  These improvements so far looks like a good sign for us once we graduate but we will still be in trouble.
