CHICAGO (AP) — Illinois added 30,000 jobs in October, but thestate's unemployment rate still rose slightly as more joblesspeople re-entered the workforce, state officials said Friday.

The state's unemployment rate is 10.1 percent, slightly aboveSeptember's 10 percent. Illinois added jobs in nine of 12industries measured by officials. But the re-entry of joblessworkers to find seasonal work and renew job searches drove up therate, officials said.

The professional and business services industry added 10,600jobs, the most of any industry. Trade, transportation and utilitiesadded 5,400 jobs, and educational and health services added5,300.

Only government, mining and other services lost jobs inOctober.

The state has added about 65,800 total jobs this year and about108,000 jobs since the start of last year, after almost two yearsof job losses and a peak unemployment rate of 11.2 percent.

"Illinois' economy adding 30,000 jobs is encouraging during thischallenging period of economic recovery," said Jay Rowell, directorof the Illinois Department of Employment Security. "Consumerconfidence is critical to a growing economy, and a growing economycreates jobs."
