Alabama’s unemployment rate remained at a record 2.6% in July, officials said Friday.

The rate, which remained the same from June, represented 59,419 people without jobs statewide, a new record low, according to a statement by Gov. Kay Ivey. More than 2.2 million people were working in the state, an increase of about 65,475 from a year earlier.

Unemployment is lower almost everywhere in the U.S., and employment is higher almost everywhere.
