NASHVILLE (AP) — Tennessee's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate dropped from 3.7 percent to 3.6 percent in November.

Williamson County had the state's lowest unemployment rate at 2.5 percent, down from 2.7 percent in October. Both Davidson and Rutherford counties had a rate of 2.6 percent in November, down from 2.9 percent the previous month.
While Lauderdale County had the highest jobless rate in November at 5.8 percent that figure was still a percentage point lower than October.
