Unemployment in New York State rose last month at the fastest pace on record, as some companies laid off workers at a rapid clip while others refrained from their usual hiring around the holidays, the State Labor Department reported on Thursday.
The state’s jobless rate, which is adjusted for seasonal fluctuations, was 7 percent in December, up from 6 percent in November, according to the report. That increase — the largest in any month in 32 years of state record-keeping — will set off another extension of benefits for many New Yorkers who have been looking for work for more than half a year, labor market experts said.
