OK, I'll bite.
Lesee, I've already done my fossil fuels rant for the day so I can't discuss the states that show improvement in the article. ("North Dakota is by far the best. It had 15.7 percent more jobs in June than it did in December 2007. It also had the nation's lowest unemployment rate at 2.9 percent.......Alaska had 3.8 percent more jobs in June than before the recession began, the second-largest gain. It has also benefited from oil production.
