Oklahoma's unemployment rate improved by a tenth of a percentage point last month, the latest data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission show.

Seasonally adjusted data supplied by the bureau shows Oklahoma's number of unemployed fell by about 2,000 in November compared to the month before, from 95,032 to 93,055. It put the percentage of unemployed Oklahomans in November at 5.1 percent.

That preliminary number is 1 percent more than the 4.1 percent jobless rate the state recorded in November 2015.

Data from the bureau and from the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission also shows employers cut 5,800 jobs in Oklahoma in November.
