The state's unemployment rate is holding steady at 6.6%.

Officials say the rate didn't change from September to October, even though the state lost about 2,000 jobs. 

Most of the losses were in the public sector. The state saw gains in the private sector though, particularly in the education, health care and manufacturing industries.
