Hawaii is now in a tie for the ninth-lowest unemployment rate in the country.

Jobless rates fell in 24 states in January and rose in eight, including Hawaii, the U.S. Labor Department announced Tuesday. Hawaii’s unemployment rate rose to 4.1 percent in January from 4.0 percent in December, the Hawaii Department of Labor and Industrial Relations said Monday — a day before the rest of the states’ unemployment figures were released. The uptick in the unemployment rate for Hawaii moved the islands up from a tie for seventh lowest at the end of December. Jobless rates were unchanged from December in 18 states and in Washington, D.C.

North Dakota has the nation’s lowest jobless rate at 2.8 percent.
