NY’s unemployment rate drops, still higher than national rate

Joseph Spector

New York’s unemployment rate dropped slightly from 6.7 percent to 6.6 percent last month, reaching its lowest level since November 2008, the state Labor Department said today.

State’s private sector job count grew by 25,000, or 0.3 percent to a total of nearly 7.6 million.

Still, the unemployment rate was above the national average of 6.1 percent and parts of the state are still struggling.
