What is the unemployment rate where you live?
Here in Oregon, the state unemployment rate is 9.9%.
In the Portland Metro Area, unemployment is 9.1%. A surprising number of young adults are moving to the Portland area from the East and Midwest thinking there are more employment opportunities here.

4.6%
I think I read that Iowa has between 6 and 10th lowest unemployment rate in the country.
With a new IMB branch opening in Iowa this summer that will help too.

I was reading that the WI rate is 7.6% and the three worst cities are:
Green Bay 10.3%
Racine 13.5%
Beloit 15.1%
There are over 10 cities with double digit figures.
5.8 Maryland
8.8 DC
5.2 Virginia
The bums in politics should join this group!

Chicagoland is 7.2%? I guess I expected worse.

Statewide it's 8.1.

But that's May numbers and with summer seasonal work it's gone down I'm sure.

Solid 8.2%.
As opposed to Freak...this is the slow season..so should fall around october.

Haven't seen the new stats of today. Last month had Oregon at 12.4%--second only to Michigan.
