The March unemployment rate in Tennessee has dropped 0.1% to 7.9%, the eighth straight month of decline.
Karla Davis, commissioner of Labor & Workforce Development, said Thursday it's the lowest rate since November 2008.
The national figure for March was 8.2%, down 0.1% from February.
Davis said the state lost jobs in March, but the number of unemployed declined at a faster rate.
