Isn't that below the national average, which I believe is 20%?

15.7% of the population in Illinois is probably larger than the combined total of several states mentioned. Thanks for pointing that out Mr. BIG O

Yup, doesn't have ANYTHING to do with poor education, laziness, criminal records, high gas prices, a poor economy, inefficient government, poverty, single motherhood, absent parents, or failing schools.
It's because the rich monocled, top hat wearing, handlebar mustachioed fat cats won't pay a minimum wage job with minimum responsibility the same asthey would an engineer, or a nurse, or a teacher, or even a union janitor.

Actually, I think he nailed your purported worldview pretty succinctly there.
I'd give him an A- for failing to mention the Koch Brothers, though.

Then why is it that everyone on the left celebrates when the unemployment rate drops due to a bunch of part time/low wage jobs being added?
