North Carolina's unemployment rate climbed to 11.1 percent in May
hitting a new peak since the state started such measurements
more than three decades ago
The number of unemployed North Carolinians topped 500,000
The state's jobless rate a year ago was 5.9 percent
After a long run in which government employment
had some of the best job security
the sector shed 4,000 employees in May
…the drop in government job
means the recession's falling tax revenues
is forcing local and state governments
to shed a surprising number of workers
NC jobless rate rises to 11.1 percent
