Better late than never

A little late here on the unemployment numbers released Friday, but here goes.

The state's unemployment rate trumped the national average for the first time since December last month. This, despite the fact that North Carolina's civilian labor force hit an all-time high of 4.23 million people in August.

The state's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate stayed steady at 4.8 percent in August, while the national rate dropped to 4.7 percent.

The state will release its breakdown of August unemployment by county Sept. 22.
