No Excuses? Minnesota's Unemployment Rate Less Tied to National Economy Than That of Wisconsin and Iowa

As December’s unemployment numbers demonstrate, Minnesota continues to endure a skyrocketing rate of job losses, especially when compared to its neighbors to the south and west.

To the west, North Dakota and South Dakota have the second and third lowest unemployment rates in the nation, at 3.5 percent and 3.9 percent respectively.

Minnesota is in the most dire economic straits in the region ... With recent layoffs by heavyweight employers such as Target, the January numbers are only going to get worse when they come out in a few weeks.

Without jobs, many of the people who move to Florida will soon be forced to move back out.

You can rank it all you want. You live in the worst state in your godforsaken region for unemployment. Yay!

Nope, but he seems like a nice enough guy. We're on opposite sides of the state. I'm surprised you couldn't produce a link from google to figure that out.

Florida ranks higher than MN in unemployment by an entire percentage point. If you like, I can google you some more links about Florida.

I was just showing how your post was completely pointless. You do keep punching them out though.

Yeah, but remember, WE have that crappy tourist economy and a wild run-up during the boom years in real estate occupations for which we are currently shedding the excess. I'd say 1% difference is not that significant given that fact.

What's MN's excuse?

Maybe google can tell you.
