Do you know what the unemployment rate is down here?

The state's unemployment rate for the first half of 2001 is up 50 percent from the same period last year, officials said.

Yes, of course, but the unemployment rate can fall only so far.

The 1991 unemployment rate for all workers was 6.7 percent.

By 2001, the government had cut the unemployment rate in half.
