Ohio's unemployment rate was 10.6 percent in November, up slightly from 10.5 percent in October, according to data released Dec. 18 by the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services. Ohio's nonfarm wage and salary employment increased 5,400 over the month, from 5,104,000 in October to 5,109,400 in November. "The number of employed Ohioans rose slightly in November, but not enough to produce a significant change in the unemployment rate," ODJFS Director Douglas Lumpkin said.
