Maine has had a decrease in the amount of unemployed people in the past year. Maine is now only short about 25,000 jobs since the US recession started, a very solid comeback. Most recently, the unemployment number has shown a slight increase, but this might not necessarily  be unwelcome news as it shows that some job seekers who were on the sidelines are beginning to look for work again, a sign of greater confidence in the economy. The state as a whole, has a lower rate of unemployment than that of the nation itself, a position it has maintained for quite some time.
