WASHINGTON (AP) - The unemployment rate fell in September in most metro areas for the second straight month, although that's largely because more people gave up on job searches than found new work.
"The job market is not recovering at all yet," said Jim Diffley, regional economist for IHS Global Insight. "We're looking at another jobless recovery."
The September unemployment rate fell in 223 of 380 metro areas, or about 59 percent. The jobless rate rose in 123 metro areas, and was unchanged in 34.
