Mass. gains 9,500 jobs
Posted by Jason Tuoheyat 4:29 PM
Massachusetts created 9,500 jobs last month, the state's biggest increase in five years, as reported by the AP on Boston.com.
The growth in jobs marked the largest monthly increase since September 2000, and the 11th consecutive monthly gain.
The good news comes with a catch - the unemployment rate didn't change, as the number of unemployed Massachusetts residents also increased last month. Still, it's an impressive gain.
