Ohio jobless rate edges up as unemployment rises nationwide
The November unemployment picture shows Ohio at 10.6 percent with 623000 unemployed, up from October, as services hiring only partially offsets losses in goods production. Nationally 36 states plus DC cut jobless rates, yet the drop reflects people leaving the labor force and a slow pace of hiring, with six to nine months expected for improvement.
