Yes, go west for jobs but this is a different west. With 89 million people (including retirees) out of the labor force this nation urgently needs to create jobs. Correct that -- our government must change its policies that act against job creators. Let's look at the states with the lowest unemployment rates:
North Dakota 3.2; Nebraska 3.8; South Dakota 4.3; Vermont 4.9; Wyoming 4.9; Iowa 5.0; Hawaii 5.1; Oklahoma 5.1. Neither of these states has been known as an industrial, manufacturing area. Several, especially the Dakotas, owe their prosperity to oil and gas development. If our government would commit to develop our large resources of oil, gas and coal, we could become self-sufficient in energy and boost the economy.
I agree that the figures are from the government, known for twisting numbers to favor the administration, but they are relatively true. That once time glorious economy of California has an unemployment rate of 9.9. For a comparison, Louisiana is at 5.6.
