California and North Carolina in March posted their highest jobless rates in at least three decades, as unemployment increased in all but a handful of states during the month, the Labor Department said Friday.
California's unemployment rate jumped to 11.2% in March, while North Carolina rose to 10.8%, the highest for both since the U.S. government began a comprehensive tally of state joblessness in 1976.
The state-by-state employment figures showed only a few states avoiding the deterioration seen nationwide. Unemployment rose in 46 states during the month, and 12 states plus the District of Columbia posted unemployment rates in March that were significantly higher than the 8.5% nationwide figure the government released earlier this month.

BARACK Obama says he can detect bright "signs of economic progress" on a dark horizon, while warning there is "much more work to be done" before the US is safe from the storm that has thrown millions out of jobs and homes.
"Times are still tough," the US President said yesterday. "But from where we stand, for the very first time, we are beginning to see glimmers of hope."
