(Olympia, WA)  --  State officials say Washington's jobless rate for December was five-point-five-percent, up from five-point-three-percent in November.  But the state Employment Security Department says the non-seasonally-adjusted figure was down from six-point-three-percent in December 2014.  The department says the greatest job growth in Washington last month was in transportation, warehousing and utilities with 22-hundred new jobs.  The government and information sectors also showed significant growth.
