September unemployment numbers show that Democratic run states have higher levels of unemployment than their Republican counterparts.
The September unemployment rate nationwide was 7.9%, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The number reflects an optimistic outlook, as unemployment has steadily declined since reaching a high of 14.7% in April. However, Democratic controlled states, on average, have a higher unemployment rate than the national average.
The five states with the highest unemployment rates are Hawaii (15.1%), Nevada (12.6%), California (11.0%), Rhode Island (10.5%) and Illinois (10.2%).
