Here's The State With The Highest Jobless Rate In The Nation.
Freeloader States:
JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Mississippi no longer has the highest unemployment rate in the nation in August, according to figures released Friday by the U.S. Labor Department.
The Mississippi unemployment rate fell to 7.9 percent in August, breaking a string of three straight monthly increases. That's compared to 8 percent in July and 8.6 percent in August 2013.
Georgia had the worst jobless rate at 8.1 percent. Mississippi's was second-worst.
A separate survey shows employer payrolls also fell, another indicator of a plodding state economy.
The report found 99,700 Mississippians were unemployed in August, down about 2,000 from July and below the August 2013 number of about 110,000. The number of Mississippians who said they had a job fell in August, but the number of people saying they were looking for work fell faster, driving down the number of jobless people and the unemployment rate.
