Do you want someone to give you a synopsis of the article? It was pretty explanatory.

RE: Not a fairy tale of two states
I have Ninerfan on ignore so I didn't see the title. But if you want to talk about Bama and Wisconsin, they're in the bottom 5 states for job creation last month, along with Ohio, led by austerity-happy Gov. John Kasich (lost 9,500 jobs), and New Jersey, led by potential GOP VP nom Gov. Chris Christie (lost 8,600 jobs) :

Quote:In March 2012, nonfarm payroll employment increased in 29 states and the
District of Columbia, decreased in 20 states, and was unchanged in
Alabama. The largest over-the-month increase in employment occurred in
New York (+19,100), followed by California (+18,200) and Arizona
(+13,500). The largest over-the-month decrease in employment occurred
in Ohio (-9,500), followed by New Jersey (-8,600) and Wisconsin (-4,500).

Arizona experienced the largest over-the-month percentage increase in
employment (+0.6 percent), followed by the District of Columbia and
Nebraska (+0.5 percent each). Maine experienced the largest over-the-month
percentage decline in employment (-0.5 percent), followed by Wyoming
(-0.3 percent). Over the year, nonfarm employment increased in 45 states
and the District of Columbia, decreased in 4 states, and was unchanged in
Alabama.
The largest over-the-year percentage increase occurred in North
Dakota (+6.5 percent). The largest over-the-year percentage decrease in
employment occurred in Wisconsin (-0.9 percent).

Another tactic Maxi likes to employ is to take a snapshot of data and extrapolate out faulty conclusions based on it. It's a tried and true tact of ambulance chasers and outright liars.

From the article.

Quote:Both states have reduced their unemployment rates by 2 points since last March, putting them well ahead of most other states, such as California (down 0.7 points), Florida (down 1.7 points) or Nevada (down 1.6 points).

But President Barack Obama has ignored Alabama’s recovery while repeatedly boosting Michigan, whose unemployment rate of 8.5 percent is well above the 7.3 percent rate in Alabama.

Maxi is a troll, pure and simple. He's devoid of any intellectual honesty and enjoys being an outright liar. He's now firmly in Robert's camp. He should be laughed at and ridiculed as such.

You do know that you can open a post of someone you want to ignore... If your interested enough to comment in the thread please do try to show some effort in knowing what it's about rather than ask everyone else to do the work for you.

In terms of 'jobs created' or change in unemployment rates you need to consider the starting point. Its damn easy for a 300 pound man to drop a dozen pounds... It's quite a bit harder for someone who weight 180 to do the same.

So if I am in a state with Unemployment at 6% and it falls a point its a huge deal. If I am in a state with 9.5% unemployment and it falls a point, that's a much less accomplishment..

Yeah. What was Alabama's unemployment rate and what was Michigans?

RE: Not a fairy tale of two states
So most of Michigan's 10% unemployment rate a couple years ago was water weight?

I think any job growth is a big deal. And in fact, I think your analogy couldn't be more wrong: it's harder to grow jobs when you start out with high unemployment because there are fewer people working and consuming, less productivity.

See Max, this is how you read a post from someone you have on ignore and reply to it. I open about 5-10% of the post of people on ignore, depending on the thread.

Now you, on the other hand, do a bulletin version of "Would you please tell niner fan Im not talking to him". It's lazy but that's what I've come to expect from a liberal ambulance chaser.


Rob,

From your article...

Michigan, whose unemployment rate of 8.5 percent is well above the 7.3 percent rate in Alabama.

Michigan's unemployment rate is 116% of Alabama's

And its harder for a fat man to shave 30 seconds off a 5k than an Olympic runner... Because, well you know an Olympic Runner is already better so 30 more seconds should be easy..
