The national unemployment rate increased by one-tenth of a percentage point over the year, while Michigan’s rate was reduced by one-tenth of a percentage point since November 2022. Michigan’s rate was 0.6 percentage points above the U.S. The national jobless rate inched down by two-tenths of a percentage point to 3.7 percent in November. “Payroll jobs rose by 7,000 during November, with modest job gains seen in the state’s auto sector.” “Despite an uptick in the unemployment rate this month, Michigan’s labor market is rebounding from the auto-related strike and associated layoff activity,” said Wayne Rourke, labor market information director for the Michigan Center for Data and Analytics. Both total employment and unemployment in the state rose over the month, resulting in a labor force gain of 23,000 during November.

Michigan’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate advanced by two-tenths of a percentage point to 4.3 percent between October and November, according to data released today by the Department of Technology, Management & Budget.
