Contrast this to California, which has 3 cities that filed for bancrupcy. Also check out obama's statement that one months statistics is insignificant (repeated multiple times). Good stuff that you won't hear on PBS.

You wouldn't  hear that on  PBS but on Fox.  PBS is for everyone not just the Tea Party.   Like our Republican governor, jobs are being created at  fast food establishments, coal mines and convenient stores for nickels an hour and have to pay taxes while the rich get richer and pay no taxes.

We are enticing companies to move their operations to my state.  Doesn't help the numbers at the other state but it sure does help us.  We are achieving our goal - unemployment has come down enough that we have been able to stop the emergency unemployment compensation.

You're leaving out jobs being created in the petroleum indusry and the chemical industry. These are high paying jobs. I've been trying to find lab work in the NY Metro area, but it's simply not available because of high local taxes and the states caving into the unions. There are plenty of jobs available in the Deep South because of the business friendly environment.

 You've pretty much hit that one on the head. To create jobs, you must have a business friendly atmosphere. all those things you mention contribute to that.

Sure thing Labrat,  no unions, low taxes, sounds like Louisiana is the place for you.  Come On Down.  Grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.

We're thinking about it. New York isn't very affordable. Response to Re: States with Republican Governors are Showing Lower Unemployment Rates:

Well let me know if you decide, regardless of our differences in politics, we are still friends and if I could help you, I would.
