District Unemployment Rate Drops

From DOES:

"The unemployment rate in the District of Columbia for May 2010 was 10.4 percent, a 0.6% decrease from the 11.0 percent rate for April 2010, according to data released today by the DC Department of Employment Services (DOES).

May marked the fifth straight month of a drop in the unemployment rate; at the same time the US rate decreased slightly. The report for May showed the lowest unemployment rate since August 2009."

Anyone feeling this .6 percent decrease?
