what is interesting is that the states with the lowest unemployment utilize US resources and US labor:

North Dakota reported the lowest unemployment rate in August, at 4.3 percent, followed by South Dakota with 4.9 percent and Nebraska at 5 percent.
North Dakota has benefited from a healthy oil sector, and all three states are helped by relatively strong agriculture economies.

can you imagine how much healthier our economy would be if the government did not put roadblocks to the manufacturing sector (including oil)? it was insane that our government paid for crop destruction and stopped drilling for energy independence. the more our government allows jobs to be outsourced and cheap labor to be brought in, the worse it will get. we have lost too many manufacturing jobs to sustain more job loss and more immigration.

for those who like big government, i ask you how will government draw its income to function when the private sector jobs are gone?

Political satire. Wanted to play the card before an Obama apologist began.
