The Bureau of Labor Statistics provided the data for the chart below.
In a sea of bad news, the water just got a little deeper, as every state in the United States reported a month over month and year over year rise in their unemployment numbers.
It is not surprising that the agricultural states in the center of the country have the lowest levels of unemployment, since so much of farm labor is supplied by the families that own the farm. The industrial states are suffering the most, as they are most dependent on factory employment. But, even the service industries are hurting, as California, Florida and Nevada, three states that have large service industry composition, all show unemployment of 10% or higher.
