Unemployment poll

I'm curious since it just broke into double digits in my city (as compared to last month's numbers).

What is the unemployment rate in your city/state?

Re: Unemployment poll

  • City's - 10.3% (and will get worse since a big name company just laid off another 150 people yesterday, so that wasn't factored into that number.)

    State's - 7.6%

  • Sadly, I have no idea where to find that information.

    State - 7.6%

    City: 4.40%, with job growth of 1.14%

  • As of december 08 the state was 5.2 and my county is 5.4.  Some of the bigger cities it in the double digits.

  • As of Dec.

    State - 9.5

    County - 7.6

    It's getting pretty bad here, BMW just let go of about 800 temp workers, so far I haven't heard of them letting go of directs, but Michelan just annouced that they are going to have to do some layoffs for the first time 25 years.  My company has started also, theres 3 of the bigger employers in the area, it SUCKS!!

    Sadly, I have no idea where to find that information.

    I searched our local newspaper's website for unemployment.  I'd heard it all over the news lately since national figures are set to be released today, I think.

    Seriously... we need to move! LOL  I think my city's are the worst so far... no wonder I can't find a new fricking job!

  • I know that in one of the larger cities in my state, it has been in the double digits for a couple of months now.  For my town, I'm honestly not sure.  It's scary times out there.  Some days I can't watch the news.  I've had to start limiting it.

  • State: 10.3%

    I can't find anything for the city, but RI is so small I would imagin it's bad everywhere for the overall to be at 10.3%

  • I'm late but didn't see this till now...

    NM is 5.1%

    Albuquerque is 5.5%

    Job growth is -1%

    Damn you Nest for screwing up my siggy!

  • Town: 3.7%

    County is around 20%

    State: 4.6%

    I realize the 20% looks crazy high but FWIW, that's actually what it has been around here for a long time.  There aren't a lot of people losing jobs in this area.
