In AZ, its 9.1 and I think its getting a little easier to find work. Homebuilders are building again, thus construction workers have a chance. And some large co's like Intel are hiring. Also some customer service jobs are opening up. The Christmas season will bring holiday jobs at the department stores also.

It's 8.5% in Texas and it has been steadily getting worse. The teacher layoffs didn't help.

It's 2 something. I'm in North Dakota, my county's unemployment rate for October was 0.9%. Statewide it's remained that way for awhile, locally it's hovered around 1% for the last couple years as well.

4.6% in Nebraska and closer to 4.3% in the Omaha area. That's down from a high of 4.9% so more are getting jobs. Growth is occuring and businesses are opening and expanding - this is across many industries from agriculture to finance to transportation to medical

The real unemployment here is scary.

If you count the unemployed, under employed, and those who have just given up, I believe it's over 25% here. I can't prove it but I believe it's true.
