State Unemployment Rates Rise in 29 States
Unemployment rates are unfortunately not going down as before in many states according to this article. There was a report of an increase in unemployment in 29 states in October - up to 15.1% in Michigan. However, there is good news that rates fell in 13 states in the same period. Despite the dismal title of the article, there are encouraging statistics later, describing the number of jobs added in several states recently.

Actually, I am surprised that unemployment rates failed in 13 states. From the news that I read in magagines, newspaper, and TV broadcasting, I thought the unemployment rate is going up in almost every state. However, 15.1% unemployment rate in Michigan sounds terribly high. Are there any special reasons for that?
