Last week unemployment rates rose in only 10 states, remained unchanged in 10, and fell in the remaining 29. Despite the majority of states experiencing falling unemployment rates, the national rate rose by 0.1% to 6.7%. The main reason for the increase in unemployment on the national level is more people entered the workforce after having dropped out, but were not hired immediately. Hiring rose in 33 states, and fell in the other 17.
