Unemployment rates rose in more than half of U.S. states in June, evidence that slower hiring is affecting many parts of the country.
The Labor Department said Friday that unemployment rates in 28 states and Washington, D.C., increased last month. Rates declined in eight states and were flat in 14. That's a change from May, when 24 states reported falling unemployment rates.
Twenty-six states reported a net gain in jobs in June, while 24 states lost jobs.

Calif. unemployment rate rises slightly in June

Sacramento, Calif. (AP) — California’s economy is staying soft into the summer, with the state unemployment rate for June rising slightly even as employers added workers.
The state added 28,800 payroll jobs in June, the state Employment Development Department said Friday.
But a survey of workers — which is used to calculate the jobless rate but is considered less reliable — showed 37,000 fewer people employed in California. That helped drive the jobless rate to 11.8 percent, second only to Nevada and up from 11.7 percent in May.
Must be expected since the article doesn’t use the drinking word this time. Not a good sign for Obama and his “summer of recovery”.
That's...unexpected.
how could this happen when we have one of the most intelligent people in the world for president?
