Only three of Tennessee's 95 counties did not have an increase in their unemployment rate for July, according to the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development.
The largest climb was in Weakley County, where the rate jumped 3.5 percentage points to 8.5%, according to the department.
The second highest was in Green County at 6.8%, an increase of 1.3% from June.
Labor Department officials said the large decreases were seasonal, which is figured in the state rate but not in individual county figures.
