Unemployment Rates
They're not looking great:
Dept. of Labor unemployment rates by state
The worst:
Michigan: 14.6%
Nevada: 13%
Rhode Island: 12.9%
South Carolina: 12.6%
California: 12.4%
North Carolina: 11.2%
Illinois: 11.1%
Alabama: 11% (Explains Senator Shelby's extortion attempt)
Oregon: 11%
Tennesse: 10.9%
The best:
Hawaii: 6.9%
Montana: 6.7%
Iowa: 6.6%
Kansas: 6.6%
Oklahoma: 6.6%
North Dakota: 4.4%
Observation:
Southern states (predominately red states) are pretty hard-hit, with most southern states having double-digit unemployment numbers. Will red state politicians continue to say no to jobs bill spending? Or will they, like Alabama's senator Shelby, simply try to bring home more pork?
