WASHINGTON - Hiring around the country picked up in June with employers adding 146,000 jobs — helping to push the unemployment rate down to 5 percent, the lowest in nearly four years.
So, the next time someone says tax cuts don't work, you will know different. Not that it is government's job to create jobs, but we can all see that having a pro business administration in the White House helps the job market. Somebody (somewhere) got a job in June. Don't let the leftists that protest everything (and whine because they can't find a job), tell you there are no jobs.

But getting a real productive job would be just soooooo un-Marxist.
Which means they would have to produce something besides "Bush is (insert one) Hitler/Stalin/Pol Pot/Satan" signs.
The msm don't want to broadcast this statistic because it supports Bush. So much for fairness in journalism.
The U.S. Dept of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistic publishes monthly unemployment stats by State and Territory at www.bls.gov/lau/home.htm#tables
If we average the States' unemployment ratess, the rate could be as low as 5%. But the populations of the states differ. It's more important to examine the number of people who are actually unemployed. For example, Michigan and Mississippi both have 7.1% unemployment, while Hawaii has only 2.7%
Check out the site yourself and make your own call on this issue.
CA, thanks for pointing that out. The site is a good site, I have been there many times.
I am well acquainted with labor statistics and fully understand that not all states are at 5%.
But the topic was the national rate.
Let me pose you a question. Why do you suppose Michigan and Mississipi are so high?
