15 US states with record low unemployment

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), as of November 2019, the US unemployment rate was 3,5%. The last time he was at such a low level was almost half a century ago, in December 1969. It is forecasted that by the end of 2020 the unemployment rate will fall even lower to 3,25% across the country, notes GOBankingRates. The publication has collected information about states where this indicator is especially low - those who are looking for work should pay attention.

Now is a good time to look for a job, as a healthy unemployment rate usually indicates that employers will raise wages and compete to hire new workers. Employers added 266 jobs in November, according to The New York Times. The BLS releases unemployment data every month, which shows a steady decline over the past decade.

To find out which states had the lowest unemployment rates nationwide, GOBankingRates analyzed the seasonal unemployment adjustments for October 2019 from BLS and compiled the unemployment rate for each state in October 2009.
