Jobs are increasing in the United States, with an unexpectedly high 256,000 added in December 2024, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
A recent study from WalletHub analyzed how unemployment rates are changing throughout the U.S., by comparing the 50 states and the District of Columbia based on six key metrics that compare the data from December 2024 to key dates in 2024, 2023, 2020 and 2019. From there, they used a weighted scale to determine a ranking.
