According to Washington state’s Employment Security Department, our unemployment rate is now 7.8%, the largest rate of unemployment since 1990. Current estimates state that 303,570 people are looking for work.

How do we compare to the rest of the nation? The national unemployment rate is 7.6%, less than our rate. Remember when it seemed like we were pretty isolated from the downward trends? Yeah.
