Michigan Unemployment Rate Highest In NationAssociated Press

LANSING, MI - State officials say unemployment rates in most of Michigan's labor markets rose in November.
The seasonally unadjusted jobless rates increased in 16 of Michigan's 17 labor market regions.
The only area with a lower rate was the Monroe region in the southeast corner of the state.
Jobs were lost in leisure and hospitality services, and in construction. But jobs were added in retail trade and in education.
Unemployment rates are seasonally adjusted to remove influences such as production cycles, holidays and climate conditions.
Michigan's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in November was nearly 7%, the second highest in the nation.
