Unemployment Rates in Maryland
Maryland's unemployment rate rose to four percent in May, the highest it has been in two-and-a-half years, but still below the national rate. Unemployment was 3.6 percent in April. Meanwhile, the federal government reported Friday June 21, 2008 that unemployment rose nationwide to 5.5 percent, up from five in April.
Maryland employers added 1,100 jobs in May, but that wasn't enough to offset the more than 13,000 people who entered the job market.
Meanwhile, the unemployment rates are getting higher each day with employers cutting cost and laying off employees. The Employment Guide is here to help, just simply click on the link http://www.employmentguide.com and start clicking away towards a new career today.
