Texas, Michigan Add Jobs, But It’s Still Bad Out There

The states of California, Texas, and Michigan all added some jobs in October, though year-over-year employment continued to fall.

Michigan decreased its unemployment rate by 1 percent in October, while Wyoming’s unemployment rate rose by .9 percent.

California added 25,000 jobs in October, but has lost 687,000 jobs over the year, so you can figure that 25k means very little. In fact, California’s 12.5 percent unemployment rate is a series high for the state.
