Sep 20, 2008 Toledo Blade :

Ohio's economy was jolted further last month, as the statewide jobless rate jumped to 7.4 percent. The figure, released yesterday from the state Department of Job and Family Services, was up from 7.2 percent in July and is higher than the 6.1 percent nationally. The bulk of the blame goes to the automotive industry, which continues to trim jobs and have layoffs related to poor sales. The rate, among the highest in the nation, is far behind the one in Michigan, which this week said it had 8.9 percent unemployment in August, highest in the country. Rhode Island's rate was 8.5 percent.
