Unemployment rates rose in more than half the states in June and fell in only 11, the government reports.
Jobless rates were unchanged from May in 11 states and the District of Columbia.
The national jobless rate also was the same as in May — 7.6%. Nineteen states had rates significantly lower than that while nine states and the District of Columbia had measurably higher rates, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The states ranking at the top and bottom in joblessness also didn't change. Nevada again had the nation's highest unemployment rate in June at 9.6% and North Dakota, at 3.1%, had the lowest.
Compared with a year ago, 37 states and the District of Columbia show lower unemployment rates.
