All 12 metropolitan areas in Illinois are reporting a jump in unemployment rates.
The Illinois Department of Employment Security says metro areas recorded their highest unemployment rates since 1990. Rockford had the state's highest unemployment rate at 9.5 in August. That was a 3.1 percent increase from a year ago.
In the Chicago-Naperville-Joliet metro area, the rate was 7.1 percent, up more than 2 percent from last August.
