#1 Twenty-six states and the District of Columbia saw unemployment rate decreases, while 7 saw increases and 17 saw no change.

And the unemployment rate decreases in most of those States can attributed to the defeated segment of the work force that has simply given up. Now consider this. The initial tremors from the ACA are just beginning to be felt. The financial sector still doesnt know the ramifications of Dodd-Frank because its still being written. Unrestrained Federal agencies such as the EPA continue to restrict growth in Agriculture, Energy, Mining, and beyond. Taxes are going up under the guise of investment. The Fed presses are printing QE dollars around the clock. And coming down the pike is the real potential for an amnesty deal that will allow non-citizens to legally compete for not just unskilled but skilled positions as well. Meanwhile the Obama Recovery seems to hinge on all-day Preschool and mythical Green Jobs.

On a lighter note
