Deep Blue States Continue to Hold the US Economy Down
Monday’s unemployment numbers show blue states are the leaders in the nation’s unemployment.
Several commentators have already noted that Monday’s State Employment and Unemployment release from the federal government’s Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that eight states had unemployment rates above 7 percent:
- – Nevada – 7.7 percent
- – California – 7.7 percent
- – New Mexico – 7.7 percent
- – New York – 7.7 percent
- – Connecticut – 7.3 percent
- – Hawaii – 7.3 percent
- – New Jersey – 7.3 percent
- – Illinois – 7.1 percent
These unemployment rates are much higher than the nation’s overall unemployment rate of 5.4 percent reported earlier this month.
