Getting Better?

Iowa's March unemployment rate has risen again, now matching the worst of the farm crisis, July 1986's 6.8 percent.

Got any I-JOBS?

We're still searchin'!

And the scientific community is united in that fact.

Rosy Scenario wrote a story for the Ragister stating 7,300 jobs have been added.

A somewhat closer look reveals 2,800 were professional and business services jobs, but most of those were through temporary agencies.

2,000 employees were added in government, but again these were mostly temporary census jobs.

The Ragister tries to compare it to the national average of 9.7%, but doesn't mention the lowest unemployment rates are in neighboring states like North Dakota (4%), South Dakota (4.8%) and Nebraska (5%).

Maybe they should have gone into debt like the Big Lug Nut did for Iowa with his borrowing scam and Obama did for the country with the stimulus.
