*shrugs*I think questions to ask are; where were they say, 5 -8 years ago....what happened when the econ. hit the skids, what did he do legislatively ala jobs etc.

This should not be surprising to people who are not easily duped by right wing talking points and propaganda.

So much for Rick Perry's state being a powerhouse of employment.

Wow, if you hate people who lead jurisdictions with high unemployment rates, you think Obama is the devil himself, don't you?

Texas has a higher population plus there are A LOT of illegals who get aid that shouldnt that are counted as unemployed. I know I lived in Corpus Christi for 7 years

There are other states with a lot of illegals too. But feel free to use that for an excuse.

Special thanks to Harry Reid And Nancy Pelosi!!!


50 CALIFORNIA 11.8
51 NEVADA 12.4

*shrug*

Middle of the pack so to speak. Not great, but not bad either. Don't see this as ammunition for either side really.

In politics that is ammunition for both sides

I don't think illegal immigrants are counted in the official statistics. But maybe I'm wrong on that. pinqy would know.

The surveys don't ask about immigration status, so there's no way of knowing who is illegal or not. So yes, they are counted.

I'm not sure why Lovebears think any illegals are counted who should not be...why shouldn't they be?

 

[bodecea]

Texas has a higher population

That's probably why the numbers are expressed as percentages.

Maybe you guys should shut off more drilling and continue to block the pipeline.

That will show America.

 

[uscitizen]

Block what pipeline?

 

[Full-Auto]

Block what pipeline?

Are you serious?


If you are, its from canada.

What do Senators do to change the UE rates in their home states?

 

[pinqy]

Because everyone is too lazy to say "the 50 states and the District of Columbia.

Puerto Rico is usually included in the "state" data as well.

Texas has a higher population plus there are A LOT of illegals who get aid that shouldnt that are counted as unemployed. I know I lived in Corpus Christi for 7 years

So the higher population explains the higher unemployment?

So what was and is all the talk about how everyone's moving to Texas for all the jobs about?

Apparently not much. The point is a counter to the constant claim of a lack of a jobs bill from the house. Those two have had plenty of opportunity while in charge.

Relax though democrats havent had the stones to put a budget up. So you can continue to expect nothing.
