I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the new regional unemployment numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics came out today and...well...your local economy sucks. Over the last few months, your unemployment has been rising again and you're still
nowhere near the low unemployment you had when Bush came into office :
The simple fact is the economic policies of the Bush Administration have had a disastrous effect on your local economy's ability to recover from the recession. If this was a true "recovery", you should be seeing a steady increase in job growth and a steady decrease in the unemployment rate. Unfortunately, neither one of these seems to be the case. Are you better off than you were four years ago? I don't think so...
