October Unemployment Numbers - Utah tied for Second Lowest Nationally!

For October, 37 states and the District of Columbia saw unemployment rate declines, 7 states had increases, while 6 had no change. Year-over-year, 42 states plus the District of Columbia recorded unemployment decreases. Because Housing and Jobs are so closely related, it is important to watch for changing trends in the Unemployment level. The chart above displays current levels of Unemployment by state. I love living in Utah for many reasons - not the least of which is that we are tied for the second lowest unemployment rate in the country at 5.2%!
