Watch the jobs vanish

Check out this map from americanobserver.net. Watch Ohio go from multicolor to almost solid black (over 10% unemployment) in just 3 years.

Notice which areas still have the least unemployment -- North Dakota (in my opinion, because of its state bank) and the D.C. area.

When the D.C. area turns black, the rest of us will start showing brighter colors.

I noticed that it stayed yellow-orange right down the middle of the country.

I noticed that too; but except as I noted about North Dakota, I don't have any explanation, except that these states have lost a great deal of population in recent decades. Perhaps (and I'm speculating here) they have reached a point where the jobs they have are needed to serve their small and spread-out population.
