Last month s jobless rate reflects the beginning of a new set of restrictions on businesses aimed at curbing the spread of the coronavirus. Businesses such as movie theaters, bowling alleys and indoor dining at restaurants won t be allowed to reopen until Dec. 20 at the earliest. Total employment in November declined by 14,000, while the number of unemployed rose by 43,000, the department said.
Still, the unemployment rate is much lower than it was in April, when it hit 24%, a record. Since April, the state has added 623,000 jobs, although the employment total in the state was still 438,000 below February s pre-pandemic level last month.
