US Jobless Rates Still Increasing
For my American readers, you may be interested in a recent post on CalculatedRisk where CR graphs the recent BLS data on unemployment. The interesting things for you are the positive states: North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska and Virginia. And possibly Vermont.
Oklahoma looks pretty good to me too, having just talked to my old friends in Michigan.
Another interesting place is ShadowStats to see what the “real” unemployment picture looks like. It puts Michigan much higher than 25%. Which exceeds the Great Depression rates.
Then again, according to Shadow Stats, the US as a whole is pretty much already there.
