Unemployment rates rise in 28 US states in June

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Unemployment rates rose in 28 U.S. states
last month, partly because more Americans started looking for work and not all
of them found jobs.
Unemployment rates fell in 11 states and were unchanged in
another 11, the Labor Department said Thursday.
Nationwide, hiring has picked up this year, but the
unemployment rate rose in May to 7.6 percent from 7.5 percent in April and
stayed the same last month. That's because more people began job searches in
May and June but not all of them found work. The government doesn't count
people as unemployed unless they are actively searching for work.
A similar dynamic occurred at the state level. Two-thirds of
the states added jobs in June. Massachusetts, Maryland and Georgia were among
the states where the unemployment rate rose even though they added jobs.
Massachusetts also reported the largest unemployment rate
increase for any state. It rose to 7 percent in June from 6.6 percent in May.
Georgia, Maryland and Vermont reported increases of 0.3 percentage points, the
next largest gains.
Alabama's unemployment rate fell to 6.5 percent from 6.8
percent, the biggest decline among the states. Wisconsin reported the next
biggest drop, to 6.8 percent from 7 percent.
California added 30,200 jobs in June, the most of any state,
followed by Pennsylvania, with 19,100, and Wisconsin, at 17,500. Tennessee lost
16,500, the most of any state, followed by Ohio, with a loss of 12,500, and New
York, which lost 11,400.
Nevada's unemployment rate of 9.6 percent was the highest in
the nation, followed by Illinois at 9.2 percent and Mississippi at 9 percent.
North Dakota's 3.1 percent rate was the lowest.
Economists hope that better hiring nationwide will accelerate
growth in the second half of this year. Employers added an average of 202,000
jobs per month in the first six months of this year, up from 180,000 in the
previous six months.
*The danger, as Washington Post economics columnist Robert Samuelson argues, is that of “importing poverty” in the form of a new underclass—a permanent group of working poor.
THE ENTIRE REASON THE BORDERS ARE LEFT OPEN IS TO CUT WAGES!

"We could cut unemployment in half
simply by reclaiming the jobs taken by illegal workers," said
Representative Lamar Smith of Texas, co-chairman of the Reclaim American Jobs
Caucus. "President Obama is on the wrong side of the American people on
immigration. The president should support policies that help citizens and legal
immigrants find the jobs they need and deserve rather than fail to enforce
immigration laws." REP. LAMAR SMITH – OUR NEXT PRESIDENT!

How Unskilled Immigrants Hurt Our Economy
Immigration’s
bottom line has shifted so sharply that in a high-immigration state like
California, native-born residents are paying up to ten times more in state and
local taxes than immigrants generate in economic benefits.
A handful of
industries get low-cost labor, and the taxpayers foot the bill. TRANSLATE,
FIRST WE GIVE OUR JOBS TO ILLEGALS, THEN WE GET THE TAX BILLS FOR THE LA RAZA
MEXICAN WELFARES STATE and CRIME TIDAL WAVE!
Pols around the country, intent on currying favor with
ethnic voting blocs by appearing immigrant-friendly, have jumped on the
benefits-for-immigrants bandwagon, endorsing “don’t ask, don’t tell” policies
toward immigrants who register for benefits, giving tax dollars to centers that
find immigrants work and aid illegals, and enacting legislation prohibiting
local authorities from cooperating with federal immigration officials.

Arrests of illegal immigrant workers have
dropped precipitously under President Obama, according to figures released
Wednesday. Criminal arrests, administrative arrests, indictments and
convictions of illegal immigrants at work sites all fell by more than 50 percent from fiscal 2008 to fiscal
2009. REP. LAMAR SMITH
