Unemployment rate where you live?

What is the unemployment rate where you live?

Here in Oregon, the state unemployment rate is 9.9%.

In the Portland Metro Area, unemployment is 9.1%. A surprising number of young adults are moving to the Portland area from the East and Midwest thinking there are more employment opportunities here.

4.6%

I think I read that Iowa has between 6 and 10th lowest unemployment rate in the country.

With a new IMB branch opening in Iowa this summer that will help too.

I was reading that the WI rate is 7.6% and the three worst cities are:

Green Bay 10.3%
Racine 13.5%
Beloit 15.1%

There are over 10 cities with double digit figures.

Chicagoland is 7.2%? I guess I expected worse.

[HarveyWallbangers]

9.6% nationally.
7.8% in Minnesota.

[Freak Out]

Statewide it's 8.1.

But that's May numbers and with summer seasonal work it's gone down I'm sure.

[Tyrone Bigguns]

Solid 8.2%.

As opposed to Freak...this is the slow season..so should fall around october.
