Ironically...CA has an unemployment rate of 4.9%-41st in the nation (tied with NJ)
New York City 4.8%-38th in the nation
The nationwide average 4.1%
Alabama? 3.6%-16th in the nation
Seems like liberal areas remain a failure-if your goal is to have a way for people to earn a living.
Laughable - being as it changes monthly and seasonally.
And comparing cities and states?
I'll let you pat yourself on the back knowing that MA had some of the lowest unemployment and recovered much quicker than most ALL Red States.
A place like NYC, BTW, has literally 100's of thousands working off the books....from food trucks to street vendors to bike delivery dudes (they will even deliver pot).
This is in the main correct and accurate. For those who might think otherwise, the black belt is called such notfir the predominate racial make up of the areas. Rather it is called that for the rich soil.

If you go to other parts of the state like Baldwin or Madison counties you'll see the exact opposite, mostly subdivisions full of McMansions. You can simply go to another county here and it's like being in a different state.
Why did you not answer any of my questions? Why, because if you did, you would see that you are wrong.
I never stated you blamed trump, did I? But the person you quoted did...which in turn, you spoke of trump....follow the bouncing ball...I know it's had for those on the left.
The only thing I've proven, is you have the inability to even follow our own conversation.
Yes, lack of education...agreed.
*Sigh*. What, exactly, is it that I'm "wrong" about? You're proving my point for a THIRD time. You argue for the sake of arguing. Just so that you can somehow convince yourself you've "won."
Tell ya what: never mind, chuck. I must concede I can't possibly match your intellectual prowess.
Alabama’s legislature has been dominated by Democratts until 2010. They have had almost exclusively Democrat governors for the last 100 years.
Sorry if you are ignorant.
Let's use the right words.
Segregationists
Conservatives
White Supremisists
Confederate lovers
Anti-abolitionists
Bigots, racists
have been in control of Alabama from Day one until today. You can change your hat style or nametag but the deal is the same.
Alabama went Republican for ONE reason - bigotry (white supremacy)...which is, in effect, their religion.
It's going to take a long time to clean up the mess Obama left. He never gave a damn about poor people
