California has returned to the top of the national unemployment rankings for the first time in nearly four years.
California’s 5.4% rate for June tied Nevada with the No. 1 jobless rate among the 50 states, according to my trusty spreadsheet’s review of unemployment data back to 1976.
Michigan was the third-highest at 5.3%, followed by Kentucky, New Jersey, Ohio and Oregon at 4.9%. The month’s lowest rates were in South Dakota at 1.8%, North Dakota at 2.5%, and Vermont at 2.6%.
And California’s economic rivals? Texas was No. 18 at 4%. Florida was No. 26 at 3.7%.
…. California tied Mississippi for the fourth-highest average jobless rate since 1976 at 7.1%. Only West Virginia at 7.7%, Michigan at 7.6% and Alaska at 7.5% were higher.
Contrast that group to the five states where unemployment ran lowest: Nebraska at 3.4%, South Dakota at 3.5%, North Dakota at 3.7%, New Hampshire at 4.1%, and Vermont at 4.4%.
And note that Texas was No. 27 at 5.9%, Florida, No. 28, at 6% and Tennessee, No. 30, at 6.1%.
