March 11, 2010 | Wisconsin added 5,600 net new jobs in January, even as the state's unemployment rate rose to 8.7%, according to a report Thursday from the state Department of Workforce Development.

The unemployment rate increased from December's revised rate of 8.5% and from 7.1% a year earlier in January 2009. The figures are seasonally adjusted to smooth out seasonal fluctuations, such as school vacations and winter-related slowdowns in tourism and construction.

The state has had a net gain in jobs in only five other months since the national recession began in December 2007. Sectors adding jobs in January were manufacturing, administrative services and health care.

January's gains, however, barely offset half the losses in December, when the state lost 11,200 jobs. In the 12 months since January 2009, the state lost a net 113,600 jobs.

One factor behind the increase in the unemployment rate, according to the statistics, was that 3,600 unemployed state residents resumed searching for a job in January after having given up earlier in the recession. Unemployment statistics, which are based on telephone surveys of households, don't count respondents who declare that they aren't job searching, meaning the unemployment rate can rise and fall even when little else changes in the economy. »Read Full Article(9)
