The latest economic and jobs market data shows that there has been a significant drop in the unemployment rate in Ohio, California, Texas and many other states.

On Friday, the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services released its data that showed that the unemployment rate dropped from 5.7% in August to 5.6% in September. This drop can be attributed to the fact that there has been an increase in the nonfarm wage and salary employments. Earlier, the number was 5,297,400 and has now reached at 5,303,400, in September.
