The latest state-by-state numbers, the last batch before the election, show that Nevada actually saw the largest drop of any state. The unemployment rate declined by 1.8 percentage points between September 2011 and September 2012, although the state still has the nation’s highest unemployment rate, 11.8 percent.

Florida and Ohio also ranked among the 10 states with the largest drops in unemployment, down 1.7 percentage points and 1.6 points respectively.
