Now, The big 0, I mean O wasn't in office in '07...but the dems controlled congress then.

Wow... that makes me feel sick especially since I will graduating and going out into this job market in the very near future.

wow...so if you want a job...you better act fast and get to the middle of the U.S. before those blackout too...

I find it strange that the Midwest has had the lowest affect from the sucky economy, anyone got any insight on this?

there is lots of agriculture out that way. farmers are essentially self employed. you will notice the areas that were hit the hardest are mostly areas of industry (cars, textiles ect)... businesses can always down size and shut down and get rid of people they dont have to keep you.....america will always need food so the farmers lucked up there.....of course just becuase they were employed does not mean they were making any money. farmers are getting hit hard in this economy. truth be told the mid west is probably struggling harder than the blacked out areas.....but with hundreds or even thousands of acres of land, and sometimes millions of dollars worth of equipment they have no choice but to keep on working to pay the bills.

yea...and i guess its safe to say the blacked out areas have a much larger population that the midwest...so that can skew the numbers when there are more people to be unemployed in the blacked out portions.

So pretty much all of Mississippi and Michigan were all unemployed before the whole thing started. lol

damn that sucks lets all pack up and move to be farmers, we could be like crawl from the movie son in law haha

Thank you kind Sir!

I was talking about this post with some of my coworkers, and we all agreed it was most likely from all of the farming that goes on in the midwest. I didn't think about the idea though that even though they are employed that they are still not making any money though... Good thinking indeed. You get a gold star for the day!

Hence why I'm stuck in the military....

And why I'm back in the military...

and why Im thinking of go in to the military

air force doesnt have much for job security these days on the active duty side.. every few years they force shape and start kicking out thousands of people for no reason.

I really wish I could find a longer chart like this. Weak minded people need this map to show them. Weak minded being college professors.

One that would show that under Bush 43, with a Republican controlled congress, the country experienced growth and low unemployment. Once the dems took control of the congress, it started going to crap. I swear, people see the leadership of this country as trivial as voting for American Idol. It's a damn popularity contest, and if some POS Hollywood celeb starts bashing Bush, the rest of the non-thinkers jumped on board and started hating him too. I still come across people who thing the war on terror is about getting oil.

Oh know here we go starting about politics and Obama... I get so pissed off in these discussions just seeing how much crap there is going on in our government.

Lets just say I hope a certain dark colored brother doesn't get relected next term, for the sake of the country.

i just hate the fact that a lot of people voted for him simply to make history as the first black president...wooopidee doooooooo...let him kill our country as the first black pres

Yep there are a ton of people like that. I had friends from school that were doing that exact same thing. They didn't have any idea what he really stood for. They just knew he was black and was going to bring "Change"

But I guess he has delivered on those two promises. He is black and has most definitely brought some sort of "Change" He just never said what kind of change he was going to bring to this country... I think we all know what kind by now.

It just pisses me off when your whole idea backing for your campaign besides you be the first black president gets shot down, you go and force what you want through Congress and the House.

o and lets not forget him being in office gives the NAACP more firepower...man...NAACP should die...white people are the minority now...lol
