Alabama unemployment rate increased in April

Alabama's April unemployment rate has increased to 9.3 percent from the previous month. The jobless figures, which do not factor in employment losses due to the April tornadoes, are "up slightly" according to Department of Industrial Relations Director Tom Surtees. The previous month saw a rate of 9.2 percent. The state sat at 9.8 percent at the same point in 2010.

Surtees says the jobless numbers relating to the April 27 tornadoes will be reflected in the June report.

"It appears that Alabama followed the national trend this month," Surtees said. The nation as a whole saw unemployment increase from 8.8 percent to 9 percent.
