The US Department of Labor's Website has the most recent employment statistics by state and for the nation. You can find it <a href=http://www.bls.gov/lau/>here</a>. There's also a nice Wikipedia page that's kept current and shows all the most current rates by state.

I found this site AnyStats.com for US employment and unemployment info/statistics. I my opinion is easier to use than the official BLS one.
