Jet Moses Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 As per BLS, Nove 2008: Rhode Island: 9.3 California: 8.4 South Carolina: 8.4 North Carolina: 7.9 Florida: 7.3 Alaska: 7.3 Illinois: 7.3 Lowest: South Dakota: 3.4 Wyoming: 3.2 Utah: 3.7 Nebraska: 3.7 Interesting stats. Why do you think low population states like South Dakota, Nebraska and Utah have low unemployment? Why does Rhode Island have the highest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe because driving a tractor or picking corn qualifies as a job to the US Census Bureau? RI is a weird place. Their northern border is the economically depressed Southern Mass and their southern border is the equally economically depressed Northern Connecticut.

It's all uber-rich and welfare trash. No in between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
