Wanna know *why* Illinois has such a higher rate of unemployment,

Here's your answer:

Governor=Democrat
Lt. Govenor=Democrat
State House= Controlled by Democrats
State Senate= Controlled by Democrats Mayor of Chicago=Democrat

Ever wonder why the states that are run by Democrats seem to have the
worst economies and worst financial crises? You can't tax the hell out
of
businesses and then expect them to set up shop in your state.

That must be why Texas' unemployment rate is 6.3%. Oops, Texas is
controlled by Republicans.

And Alaska's is 7.3%. Oops, another Republican state.

And then there is Maryland, 3.8%. Yup, it's a Democratic state.

Our current governor in Maryland is a Republican. The two previous elections
for governor were extremely close. The former Speaker of the Maryland House,
a Democrat, was left wondering why he lost his seat in the last election. It
was a coattails effect of ensuring the election of a Republican to the
highest office.

The current governor of Maryland is very lucky he isn't the target of a
recall campaign, as he is the more arrogant and least competent governor
in the state's history, with the possible exception of Spiro Agnew.
Erlich is a one-termer.

You can always tell Harry is rattled when his grammar skills begin to slip.

Sorry, I wasn't aware the Governor was a Republican, but both your houses
are heavily Democrat by an over two to one margin. Still, I believe it's
the state's type of economy rather than the political party in charge that
makes the unemployment rate low. Virginia also has a low rate, and a
Republican legislature. Looking at the map, with few exceptions, it would
appear the more heavily populated and industrial states have a higher
unemployment rate. Some also have a Republican legislature.

Bert,
You have a state that: (a) doesn't have an immigration problem, and (b) has
a favorable climate for business. Trying to compare Texas or Alaska to
Maryland is a ridiculous stretch on thunder's part.
