This is obviously the fault of President Donald Trump.

Ask yourself why are there so many morons who still want to go back to Barack.

The answer is that most of them aren't working, they are suckling at the government teat in one form or another. Look at that unemployment rate in Hawaii then see just how many of them are suckling.

Democrats couldn’t even give polite applause to such facts when stated by Trump at the State of the Union.

These Democrats are so afraid that anyone would give any credit to Trump’s policies for such good news.

Does the high Alaska unemployment rate include natives who choose to live by subsistence hunting, like their ancestors did?

Women and Minorities hit hardest.

California also set a new record last month. The Golden State’s unemployment rate stands at 4.1 percent, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). That’s the lowest rate recorded since BLS began keeping track of state-level unemployment figures in 1976, and it’s a third of the 12.3 percent unemployment rate California notched at the height of the recession in December 2010.

Thank you Trump. It's looking like the corrupt leftist have overplayed their hand in CA. Things seem to be changing.☺

NYS not on the list.

Quelle suprise.

I wonder if this rate counts all people in an age range who are capable of working, or if it excludes those who have given up looking for a job...anyone know how they do this? I couldn’t discern it at the link.

I’m guessing that this will be taken as a sign that we should revert back to the actual unemployment numbers, rather than the fake ones used to cover up how bad things were.

My nephew is one of those setting the record lows in Oregon. He is a machinist, and was hired about six weeks ago by a company that fabricates machinery for factories from Oregon to Michigan.

One of their major clients is a company that makes titanium golf clubs. They make foundry equipment for them, including the stainless steel ...buckets?... the titanium alloy is melted in.

The company has so much business that they are desperate for machinists and welders, and will hire just about anyone with the right background, and train up anybody who can or will learn.

suggesting a recovery stronger than any particular political persuasion.

IOW, President Trump gets no credit.

Yet Oregon’s homelessness is still high.
