In a sharp turnaround, most states saw their unemployment rates drop in September. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 41 states saw their jobless figures decrease, and only six saw them rise. Three report no change at all, including the state with the lowest unemployment rate in the nation, North Dakota, holding steady at three percent.
This is a big change from the month earlier, when most states — 26 — reported an increase in unemployment.
The states with the highest unemployment continue to be Nevada (11.8 percent), Rhode Island (10.5 percent), and California (10.2 percent), but all three figures were down from the month before.
Of course the Right Wing is already trying to spin these new numbers as no big deal, or claiming that the REAL numbers are worse than reported, but of course that is because they are in a panic and simply CANNOT accept that Romney's main selling point, his fake ability to create more jobs, is no longer resonating like it once did.
And remember Romney is the guy who recently said "Government doesn't create jobs" all while running for a government position from which he swears that HE will create more jobs.
Oh yeah, THAT makes a lot of sense!

I always wonder how bad the economy really is.You have people lined up around the block to buy $600 pieces of plastic.If you go out on any highway they are full of cars with gas at $4 per gallon.It seems to me if things were so bad nobody would be buying these expensive phones and the highways should be empty.Just an observation but it makes me wonder.
ReplyDeleteExactly! That is all part of the totally treasonous tack the Republicans have been taking, ever since it became obvious that President Obama was succeeding in turning things around.
DeleteSadly, Romney could only slightly exaggerate his "on the first day in office" list, by adding CURING CANCER and BRINGING ABOUT WORLD PEACE, and the rubes who follow him like pod people in the old cheesy science fiction movies, wouldn't bat an eyelash.
Lets see...when's the last time a nation of people held their arms out like zombies, and followed some leader promising stuff no one could ever provide?
It's all good! And getting better. Consumer confidence is up, the building market is starting to come back, that's always the part that lags, but once new housing starts, more jobs are created.
