New BLS Unemployment Stats

from here, so you can go verify my work:

http://www.bls.gov/news.release/laus.nr0.htm

Unemployment data from that page:

Pennsylvania ...................| 4.6 | 7.0 | 2.4
The first number (4.6) is January 2008 unemployment; the second (7.0) is from Jan 2009, and the 2.4 percent is the calculated increase, which a table at the bottom of the page tells us translates into 72,000 lost jobs in that one year period.


MD and DE went up 2.6 and 2.8, while the two Carolinas top the job loss with both up 4 and a half or so each.
