The Massachusetts unemployment rate climbed to 6 percent in September, creeping past the national jobless rate of 5.9 percent, according to statistics from the Office of Labor and Workforce Development.

The Bay State’s unemployment rate jumped ahead of the national jobless rate for the first time in six years in November 2013 before falling below it again in February of this year. Massachusetts’s jobless rate has been steadily increasing every month since June, while the national jobless rate has dropped each month since July.

In August of this year, the Massachusetts unemployment rate was 5.8 percent. In September 2013, it was 7.2 percent.

Despite the uptick in the unemployment rate, Massachusetts gained 9,400 jobs in September. Since September 2013, Massachusetts has added a net of 64,100 jobs, with 62,000 jobs added in the private sector.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics revised its August job estimates to a 4,900 job loss from the 5,300 loss previously reported for the month.
