[mEDITate-OR:

assume that the numbers for your state

are also the numbers for where you live.

-------------

For example AZ is said to grow +.9%

however Phoenix will be only +.1% and Tucson is -.6%

Washington is said to grow by +.9%

but, Olyberg is -.8%, Tackyoma is +.2%, Seattle is +.6%, and Bellingham is -.2%

Oregons is said to grow by a full 1.0%

but, Eugene is -.3%, Salem is -.7% and Portland is +.6%

------------

From the BLS:

"Forty-six states recorded unemployment rates that were not appreciably different from those of a year earlier."

From CR:

The fact that 46 states have seen little or no improvement over the last year is a reminder that the unemployment crisis is ongoing.

-------------

And, notice that the West Coast states are ALL below the national average

with Nevada and Cal the absolute worst.

The interactive by USA Today and Moody's Analytics provides you and U.S. with a fascinating by city or by state view of where we might be going.
So, take a look at your home town and state.
