Alaska is doing very poorly in the animation. I’d say that Montana is doing the best! Why is this true??? Because most Montanians are farmers and only go loose their jobs if they get bankrupt?
funny how government employees think the economy is doing just fine.
I don’t see how the democrats (leadership- Obama) could make our economy worse if they tried. Or are they are trying, on purpose??????????
Democrats, Republicans…what do the politicians care? They could loose their jobs tomorrow and never work again and STILL live better than the average American.
Best to be in the Great Plains, or certain parts of the Mountain West. There are a few other localized bright spots, such as the North Slope of Alaska and (wouldn’t you know it!) the Washington, DC area.
By the way it’s LOSE jobs, not LOOSE.
