Yes, me, since I hadn't heard anything to that effect and you've failed to provide a source. Here's a source suggesting otherwise by the way: http://www.answers.com/topic/list-of-u-s-states-by-unemployment-rate

Here's your link David: Michigan has the highest unemployment at 7.1%. No, I am not surprised--typical blue-state results. Proof once again that you can't tax your way into prosperity.
Edit: David, the Mississippi state legislature is majority Democrat. South Carolina's and Alaska's rate is steadily improving.

no the ceos of the car companies sold out americans jobs to other countries - and now they are in the stink hole for it because nobody wants those piece of crap cars now - they failed to follow competitors leads who started to take market share and upgrade technology in their cars (or it wasnt of the same quality ) those car companies really managed to screw a good thing up - but not to give 100 percent credit to them the unions really ended up putting bullets in their own heads by never giving any concessions - there was definitely screw ups by the lefties and the righties on that one

The UAW sold them out and outsourced jobs! Maybe they should put their heads and finances together and start from scratch, while organizing a New Union!!

No, not really. High unemployment usually happens when your major employers (mostly automakers) are not doing well financially.

Nope. That is why they vote democrat. Hopefully Hillary can divert some funds from the hard-working in America and hand it to the unemployed.

Not at all. Thousands of jobs have been lost to greedy CEOs in the automobile industry who move their factories to Mexico.
