Homeless rate in North Dakota up 36% since 2010 (fence, how much, politicians)

[Goodnight]

North Dakota was economic heaven according to some during the fracking gold rush a few years ago but when energy prices fell and those jobs disappeared there were not any good options.

Or hell, provide links to back up your other statements also....

Please, spare us.

You know as well as anyone else here that certain persons here on CD have repeatedly told us what a great place ND is.

Here are a few links to get you started:
Republicans guilty in North Dakota of labor shortage with 12,000 job openings and 2.2% unemployment rates
August Jobs Report: North Dakota 2.1% unemployment Los Angeles: 5.4% unemployment rate
Republican North Dakota: 168,000 more barrels of oil a day under Trump as opposed to last full of month of Obama

This is what 1,089 people are experiencing across North Dakota tonight according to Housing and Urban Development

Wow, 1,089 people. 2.5x that many are homeless just in Seattle. When the rate is already low it doesn't take many to make a large change in percentage. 0.001% of the population of ND is homeless, 1//3 the rate of Seattle or California.

L.A.'s homelessness surged 75% in six years. Here's why the crisis has been decades in the making

Boy that sure makes ND look bad...when viewed through liberal colored glasses.

I'd be willing to bet it's a lot easier to find a job in Los Angeles with a 5% unemployment rate than in North Dakota at a 2% rate. Los Angeles will have far more openings with a huge variety of different needed skills compared to N.D.

Not only that LA has pretty much anything you could want. North Dakota is painfully limited.

So.....did you even read the links you posted or did you just search North Dakota, and post the first links you found?

[chucksnee]

Oh and lets not forget this little gem from the OPs link....

That's an increase of more than thirty-six percent since 2010.

Pay attention to the BOLD.....

Yet, the OP provides only link from 2016 and 2017.....WONDER why?

Unemployment in ND is at 2.6%, the second lowest in the nation.

California is at 4.3%, in the bottom 3rd of the states. Add to that CA has the highest poverty rate (based on cost of living) in the nation.

Care to try again OP?

Not only did I read them, I have posts in two of them.

EDIT: Actually I have posts in all 3 of them.

Because, 2018 not even being halfway through yet, we don't have data for 2018 yet.
