NJ is losing jobs left and right because we have a republican governor now. He's trying to lower the taxes, the cities are really suffering from this- the suburbs are his main focus. NJ is really deep in the hole as far as taxes go, so it's going to seem cruel whatever he does to make a dent.

Chris Christie is just a great governor, a new national star because he's doing the right thing
These jobs lost are just public union jobs, not a problem.
Lower taxes and regulations will create real jobs : private sector jobs, as in Texas
Go Christie

Plus 7,200 jobs in Pennsylvania and the state's economic engine (Philadelphia, responsible for 2/3 of the state's GDP) still has nothing for myself or those I know who have been looking for work for a year or more.
FYI, the big lie known as the U-3 numbers reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics do not include those who have exhausted their 99 weeks of unemployment benefits, those who have given up looking for work altogether or the underemployed who work part-time because there isn't full time work.
The real deal, the U-6 numbers, conservatively place national unemployment at over 17%. In the city of Philadelphia, it's estimated at 25%.

Great points and the rate will vary depending upon the part of the state. Even with what you said, in essence the pecking order doesn't change much, if at all, but the real percentage changes. So, it would be interesting to see the numbers using or including the criteria mentioned in this post.
