Unemployment has fallen in 43 states but remains atop 20% in 3 others
The unemployment rate fell in 43 states and Washington, D.C. in May as the economy began to reopen and more employees returned to their jobs, but the number of people not working still stood near record highs and was particularly acute in places like Nevada, Hawaii and Michigan.
Unemployment rose in five states, with the biggest increase coming in Minnesota, where mass protests took place after the killing of African-American George Floyd by police. Unemployment has been lower in less populated states with smaller numbers of coronavirus cases, mostly in the Midwest and Southern parts of the country. States in those regions did not shut down quite as extensively.Washington, D.C., meanwhile, also had a surprisingly low unemployment rate at just 8.9%. A greater percentage of people in the nation’s capitol apparently work at professional companies that give them more flexibility to work at home.
