Jobless rates rise in all Michigan labor markets

LANSING, Mich. (AP) - Michigan says the state's seasonally unadjusted unemployment rate rose statewide and is up in all 17 major job markets, mainly because of the usual winter downturn.

The state announced Thursday that Michigan's seasonally unadjusted jobless rate hit 9.7% in January, up from 8.9% in December. When adjusted for seasonal changes, the rate of 8.9% in January was unchanged from December.

The Department of Technology, Management & Budget says employment and labor force levels fell seasonally in all regions.

    If a tornado threatens, get into the basement. If you don't have a basement, a small, interior room in the lowest floor of your home is relatively safe. Avoid rooms with windows. Mobile homes are not safe in a tornado.
