Several Southern states — including South Carolina, whose 11.1 percent unemployment rate is the fourth highest in the nation — have higher unemployment rates than they did a year ago. Unemployment in the South is now higher than it is in the Northeast and the Midwest, which include Rust Belt states that were struggling even before the recession.

 

For decades, the nation’s economic landscape consisted of a prospering Sun Belt and a struggling Rust Belt. Since the recession hit, though, that is no longer the case. Unemployment remains high across much of the country — the national rate is 9.1 percent — but the regions have recovered at different speeds.

 

Now, with the concentration of the highest unemployment rates in the South and the West, some economists and researchers wonder if it is an anomaly of the uneven recovery or a harbinger of things to come.

 

I also saw that Western New York's unemployment picture was considerably brighter lately. Alright! That's good news for normal people but the belly achers and constant anti-government malcontents will only grumble

You have to pass the 6th grade equivalency test to get a job in the southern states like Virginia. Part of that test is a spelling test. Did you mean "highest" or "heist"?

So Dave can you explain why that might be? Oh and it has nothing to do with politics.

Dave doesn't seem to be here so I'll explain it to you Jim ........ it's God, ever since the Civil War where the North sacrificed their own children to maintain the Union God has form the opinion that the North holds the South as more precious than their own children so every time that a Northern State pisses God off like when NY allows gay marriage God punishes NY by causing wild fires in Texas or tornadoes in Tennessee- and a while back God came to me in a dream and said if you watch midget porn again I will smote South Carolina with high employment - and well I really like my midget porn.

When I read the title I thought it involved a robbery of unemployment funds.

There's a reason Kafka wrote in German.
