That statistic presents a pretty strong argument to support my statement.
However, since both Democrat and Republican-controlled states *both* have
unemployment rates under 6%, and the *average* for the nation is higher
than each party's average, that means that the states in which the
legislature is split must be *significantly* higher than 6%. If that's
the case, it makes a pretty strong argument that a two-party system seems
to more of a hindrance than a help when it comes to creating jobs.


I guess it's a good thing you didn't become an engineer ;-) Hint: think
population.
