The Labor Department said that 10 states and Washington D.C. had no change in unemployment. 13 states did have a drop in unemployment, but 27 states saw it's unemployment rise last month.
East coast is doing better than west coast. East coast unemployment is 8.8% vs. West coast which is 10.8% , the national number is 9.6%.
With the lack of jobs the housing situation continues to be an issues in western states as well.
70% of homeowners are under water in Nevada. 50% of the homes in Arizona and 33% of the homes in California.
As I have stated in my previous posts, the US needs to create jobs so we can see a real recovery from the recession that was deemed over as of June 2009.
