Wow, powerful! Did OkieChippewa contribute to this?

That was neat.

That was cool. Distrubing, but cool. Michigan didn't change much....

Conclusion: We need more Unions....

Neither did Mississippi. I guess we should all be fat and stupid on top of unionized. (not a characterization of all/most from Mississippi, but it does finish near/at the bottom of health and education rankings)

But it is pretty sucky how everything is purple at the end. /layman

Quote:In November, the unemployment rate among workers with a college degree or higher reached 3.1 percent. While that figure is modest compared with the national unemployment rate of 6.7 percent -- and nowhere near the 10.5 percent unemployment rate among those without a high school diploma -- it hasn't been that high since 2003.

After reading your post it is obvious which "head" does your thinking.

As for the map, I noticed that the areas that started out red for the most part got better with time(ended up blue-not good but better) but the south(with the exception of Mississippi) tended to get worse as time went on.

I am going to take a wild guess her and say that the high unemployment cor college educated in 2003 was all Clintons fault.

Huh? There is nowhere that "got better". Everywhere east of the Mississippi is in the 6-10% range (save DC). Nationwide (with very few exceptions) the populated portions of the US are in the 6-10% range.

I wish this was correct. I'd love for businesses to resume making money and hiring. But up to the point of this data, its getting worse, not better.

Apparently you missed all the "red" in the rust belt states turn to "blue". I guess it could be explained by a mass exodus of those in the north to the south.

Red -> Blue is an increase in unemployment. AKA, not better.

Why are you even trying to explain this to him? He is obviously retarded....

Did you notice that he is the only person that could not understand this simple graph?

P.S. Robert, Michigan's economic woes are directly related to unions. The auto industry is in a shambles and no other industry will move there and take the chance on having to deal with unions. Michigan will not recover unless it becomes a Right-to-work state.
