So now statistical deviation from average is also Obama's fault?

So, we have a 5 cities with over double the national rate, and 7 with less than half. And this tells us what? If you have 5 doom and I have 7 great, does that mean there's no bad news? Or does it just tell us the UE rate isn't uniform?

Correlation is not cause and effect.

To bad our own Government is part of the problem, America in general is turning into a big garbage dump with most oblivious to what we are becoming.

The ones that have Dem's running them are higher in unemployment.

The ones that have Repubs running them are lower and much lower at that.

Well, State data for March came out today:
Lowest ten UE rates (3 ties, so 13 states) and party of Governor:
1. North Dakota 3.0 R
2. Nebraska 4.0 R
3. South Dakota 4.3 R
4. Vermont 4.8 D
5. Iowa 5.2 R
5. New Hampshire 5.2 D
6. Wyoming 5.3 R
7. Oklahoma 5.4 R
8. Virginia 5.6 R
9. Minnesota 5.8 D
9. Utah 5.8 R
10. Kansas 6.2 R
10. Montana 6.2 D
So of 13 lowest UE states we have 9 Republicans and 4 Democrats

Next, the 10 highest rates (yes, I'm including DC as a state):
1. Nevada 12.0 R
2. Rhode Island 11.1 I
3. California 11.0 D
4 District of Columbia 9.8 D
5 North Carolina 9.7 D
6. Florida 9.0 R
6. Georgia 9.0 R
6. Mississippi 9.0 R
6. New Jersey 9.0 R
7. South Carolina 8.9 R
8. Illinois 8.8 D
9. Arizona 8.6 R
9. Kentucky 8.6 D
9. Oregon 8.6 D
10. Michigan 8.5 R
10. New York 8.5 D

Interesting to note that the state with by far the worst UE rate has a Republican Governor.
So out of 16 states (including DC) we have 8 Republicans, 7 Democrats, and 1 Independent.

Note, that though still above the National Rate, Michigan has come down from over 10% unemployment last year.

But in short, the claim that high UE states are Democrat and low ones are Republican doesn't seem to hold water. There's some correlation, but it doesn't appear causal...rural, agricultural states in the mid west tend to be more conservative, and they also have industries more resistant to unemployment.

I was talking about the ones that were mentioned in posts 1 and 4.
That listed the cities.
I never claimed anything about, that high unemployment states are Dem's and low one are Repubs.
So how did we get to talking about the cities to suddenly states?

Because I was too lazy to look up the cities and it was a lot easier to look up the states.

Besides which, all the high unemployment cities are in the Central Valley...similar economies, all hard hit. That's the pattern that fits, not politics of the mayors.

And if there was a real pattern of R v D for cities, why wouldn't it also hold true for states?

 

[peach174]

Yuma doesn't fit.
When you add 20 or more states, you have to take a whole bunch of things into account.
There are liberal, to moderate and Conservative Governors in both parties as well as I think one or two have Independents.
When you take in the state, each county has different ones running them.
Like here in AZ. Pima county has liberals running their city's and counties and Cochise has conservatives running their cities and counties.
Doing it by state it gets much more complicated with a whole bunch of things that needs to be added in.
