NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- The national unemployment rate may have only ticked up slightly in August, but on a state-by-state basis, the jobs picture continues to look a lot more grim in places like Nevada, Michigan and California.

A total of 27 states reported higher unemployment rates in August, nearly double the 14 that saw increases in July, the Labor Department said in its monthly report on state unemployment Tuesday.

While the rate remained at 9.6% for the country as a whole, Nevada, Michigan and California have consistently racked up rates above 12%.

Nevada had the worst rate for the fourth month in a row, at a record high of 14.4%, up from 14.3% in July. Michigan followed with 13.1% unemployment, unchanged from the prior rate, and California was third with a 12.4% rate, an increase from 12.3% in July.

A total of 27 states reported higher unemployment rates in August, nearly double the 14 that saw increases in July . . .

All of these new increases were of course inherited from the previous Administration.

Sad news for those sincerely looking for work in those states. Bad news for Boxer in CA, Reid in NV, but probably not for Levin in MI since his lead is still huge. Good news for America if this is what it takes for the voters to turn government back over to the adults. I just hope and pray that the GOP is electing adults and not RINOs.

This was expected, right?

"but probably not for Levin in MI since his lead is still huge"

Oops. Never mind on Levin.

When I heard Obama say “57 states”I thought I was gonna pee in my pants for laughing so hard!
