State's January unadjusted joblessness at 8.1 percent
LANSING (AP) -- Michigan's seasonally unadjusted unemployment has risen 0.4 percentage points in the latest monthly report to 8.1 percent.
The Department of Technology, Management & Budget released regional joblessness figures for January last Thursday.
The statewide rate in January is down from 9.9 percent one year earlier.
The department says January's unemployment rates ranged from a low of 5 percent in the Ann Arbor region to a high of 13.2 percent in the northeastern Lower Peninsula.
It says the rate was 8.5 percent in the populous Detroit area, a 0.5-point increase.
The state says weather typically drives up unemployment in winter months.
