From today’s Las Vegas Review-Journal:

Nevada’s unemployment rate hit yet another record in May, jumping to 14 percent. That’s up from 13.7 percent in April. Nevada’s jobless rate is now tops in the nation, as former No. 1 Michigan saw its unemployment slip to 13.6 percent in May, down from 14 percent in April. Nevada’s increase comes even as the recession is moderating nationally. The country’s unemployment rate ticked down from April to May, dropping from 9.9 percent to 9.7 percent.
