COLUMBUS -- Ohio's unemployment rate ticked up a notch to 11.2 percent in July, another level not seen for more than a quarter century.

Last month's rate was up from June's 11.1 percent and was 4.5 percentage points higher than the July 2008 rate of 6.7 percent.

Spokesman Brian Harter with the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services says the last time the state had unemployment of 11.2 percent was in August 1983.
