The White House quietly celebrated an unexpected drop in the national unemployment rate last month. But in 26 states, the jobless numbers climbed from June to July, according to new data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics today.

But 17 states did see their jobless rates drop, including Michigan. After hitting 15.2 percent mark in June, the rate dropped slightly, to 15. The unemployment rate remains in double digits in 15 states, plus Washington, D.C.
