The national jobless rate rose from 4.3 percent in March to 4.5 percent. Nonfarm employment decreased in 29 States.
The Northeast again registered the lowest regional unemployment rate, 3.9 percent, while the West continued to have the highest rate, 4.7 percent. Over the year, the Midwest's jobless rate rose by 0.4 percentage point, while the other three regions experienced little or no change in their rates.

BrassRing Inc. lays off 86 workers,
about 12 percent of its staff, in efforts to restructure its business
divisions. According to CEO Deb Besemer, the reductions are the result of

high tech, and efficiencies realized by reorganizing some of its business
units.
