Unemployment Data
By admin on June 19th, 2009
More than one-quarter of American states now have unemployment rates higher than 10 percent, and all but two saw a further job-market deterioration in May.
Tennessee and Indiana joined the rank of states, now 13, that have jobless rates exceeding 10 percent, and eight states – - including California, Florida and Georgia — reached their highest level of joblessness in May since records began in 1976, the Labor Department reported today in Washington.

This is bad for the yen and Japan’s econ.
