Georgia shares the nation’s No. 3 spot for worst unemployment...

Georgia, with a 7.2 percent unemployment rate, lost its dubious distinction last month as the state with the nation’s highest jobless rate. That questionable honor now belongs to Mississippi coming in with a 7.3 percent rate, according to statistics released Friday by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Georgia shares the second-worst spot with California, also notching a 7.2 percent rate.

It could be worse: the District of Columbia, with a 7.4 percent rate, takes the overall top spot nationwide, the BLS says.

Georgia led the nation with the worst unemployment rate from August to October.
