Only 23 states reported a net gain in hiring in March, the fewest since August 2011. The national unemployment rate fell to 7.6 percent, but only because more Americans ended their job searches. Nevada reported the highest unemployment rate last month, at 9.7 percent. Fri, 19 Apr 2013 17:42:38 UTC en
