Maryland was one of 41 states where the unemployment rate fell during September, according to the Maryland Department of Labor. Maryland's unemployment rate fell last month to 6.9 percent- the first time since June that Maryland's unemployment rate fell below 7 percent. Figures released by the O'Malley Administration show the state added 9,800 jobs during the month, with all but 200 in the private sector. September's increase tops last year's August-to-September gain of 9,500 jobs. This marks the largest gain for the month since 2003, according to the Maryland Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation.
