Regional unemployment rates in October were little changed in most of the state's labor markets compared with September, with rates rising in eight, dropping in five and unchanged in four.
But state officials said Tuesday there has been "considerable labor market weakening" throughout the state in the past year.
The highest rate last month was in the Flint region at 10.9 percent. The lowest rate was the Ann Arbor region's 6.1 percent.
Regional unemployment rates are not seasonally adjusted. National and state unemployment rates are adjusted to remove seasonal influences such as production cycles, holidays and climate conditions.
Michigan's October seasonally adjusted jobless rate was 9.3 percent, tied with Rhode Island as the nation's highest.
