Iowa Unemployment Rate Drops to 5.7 Percent
DES MOINES, IOWA – Iowa’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate dropped to 5.7 percent in November, the first time the rate has been lower than 6.0 percent since September 2009. The state’s jobless rate was 6.0 percent in October, and 6.2 percent in November 2010.
“The Iowa economy appears to be on firmer ground than it was during third quarter,” said Teresa Wahlert, director of Iowa Workforce Development. “The large drop in the November unemployment rate, along with an increase in total employment and further expansion in manufacturing, seems to confirm that the recovery has stepped up a notch.”

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said Wednesday upon the release of the report.
