Massachusetts added more than 10,000 jobs last month as the unemployment rate dipped slightly, but the gap between the state's and the nation's jobless rate continued to widen.
"We're just staying the same and the U.S. has been going down," said Elliot Winer, former chief economist for Massachusetts and chief economist for the Northeast Economic Analysis Group.
The state unemployment rate was 7 percent last month, down from 7.1 percent in November, according to the Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development. For the second month in a row, the national rate was lower — 6.7 percent — than the state jobless rate.
Still, the jobs added were a positive sign, Winer said.
"The job numbers are somewhat encouraging, but it's not extraordinary growth," Winer said.
More jobs were added from December 2012 to December 2013 than any other December to December period since 1999, the labor and workforce development office said. The state added 55,500 jobs during that time.
