 Thank you, Mark. The Labor Department says statewide unemployment remains stable in May. Unemployment rates were lower in four states, higher in three states, and stable in 43 states in the District of Columbia. D.C. has the highest unemployment rate in the country, 5.3%. That's above the 4% national average. Maryland and Virginia, well below 2.7%. North and South Dakota, they check in with the lowest unemployment rate in the country, 2%.
