What´s the unemployment rate in your county ?

[Associate Justice PiT]

     San Francisco county -- 6.6%. In California, only Orange (6.5%), San Mateo (5.9%), & Marin (5.4%) counties are lower.

[Nhoj]

7.3 [Barron] which is up from 6.1  one year earlier.

[DownWithTheLeft]

Bergen County - 3.4%

5.4%,  a jump of 2%

Still third lowest in New Jersey behind Morris (5.0) and Summit (5.1)

[War on Want]

Kootenai County: 7.5%(up 4.3% from last year)

[DownWithTheLeft]

Bergen County - 3.4%

5.4%,  a jump of 2%

Still third lowest in New Jersey behind Morris (5.0) and Summit (5.1)

Somerset?

I meant to type Sussex, but it could have been Somerset, I remembered it was an "s" but was too lazy to look back

[Downwinder]

Salt Lake County, Utah:  3.8%, up 1.1% in the last 12 months.

[MaxQue]

Abitibi-Témiscamingue: 9,4%.

Still lower than usual. We reached 5% last year, but usually unemployment is 11 to 13%.

Welcome to Quebec!

[Platypus]

ACT was 2.7% Mid last year. Would be much higher now.

[MaxQue]

usually unemployment is 11 to 13%.

Welcome to Quebec!

No, in Abitibi. That is good for a remote place where mining and forestry are the main employers.

[CultureKing]

6.1% as of December, up from 4.7% about six months earlier.

But of course once the State starts its layoffs this will likely soar to around 10% this summer, not a good time to be a county dependent on the state government for jobs.

[Tetro Kornbluth]

In Ireland by the end of February it reached 10.4%, having been 8.3% at the start of the year.

I just think its funny that you really do live in Abitibi.  It's just like this commercial:

Yeah, Stephen Harper's doing a bang up job.

I am now pretty confident he cheated on his exams when he became an "economist"

Anyways, it's 4.2% in Ottawa metro area (Ontario part), up 0.1% from January 2008. It's low because Ottawa is a overwhelmingly public sector/government jobs city.

It's 5.0% in the Quebec part of the Ottawa metro area (aka Gatineau), up 0.9% from one year ago.

Overall, for the interprovincial metro area, it's 4.4% (+0.3%).

Unemployment in Montreal is up to 8.1% (+0.9%).

In the Saint-Malo zone d'emploi, which is a special statistical unit for employment stats and stuff in France (so, it's not just the city itself but all the Saint-Malo agglomeration in Ille-et-Vilaine and even Dol de Bretagne) it was 6.4% in the 3rd quarter of 2008. I'm quite surprised that the unemployment rate in the Rennes zone is actually lower than in Saint-Malo. But they make up these stats anyways...

I really wasn't too interested in figures.  I was simply making light of the stereotype that the Quebecois have, shall we say, a lax attitude toward the value of employment.

We should thank Chinese government. They buy our gold for factories. To lower more the unemployment, we need more car fabrication (zinc and others metals), economical improvement (we need money and investors to start and continue mining projects) and you (America) stopping to put illegal tariffs (according to the decisions of NAFTA and WTO courts) on lumber wood.

[dead0man]

4.2 in Dec which is almost as high as it was from 2003-05.

[Smash255]

5.6% in December for Nassau County, NY

My parents are moving to Indian Land, South Carolina (the northern portion of the panhandle of Lancaster, county, SC) right outside of Charlotte.  The unemployment in Lancaster County as of Jan is 17.5%, in next door York County (which is what the portion of Lancaster they are in is more closely associated with) is 12.8%.

[Nhoj]

7.3 [Barron] which is up from 6.1  one year earlier.

read in my local paper that January unemployment was up too 9.6 for my county the rate was 7.6 in jan 2008.

[Ban my account ffs!]

We have a lot of seasonal jobs here so our unemployment rate varies by 2-3% between the peak of summer and January, when it is usually highest.

December, the latest month with figures, saw a rate of 8.5% compared with 7.2% last year and 6.5% the year before.

The average unemployment rate for 2008 was just under 7%, about 1 point higher than the previous year.

[Torie]

California has just popped over 10% unemployment. It is going higher. The crazies in the legislature will try to raise taxes again, but even if they succeed, it won't raise more revenue, because capital will flee the state. We are so screwed.

[dead0man]

You have no one to thank but yourselves. 

(I'm not blaming you, I'm blaming the voters of California and their nutless legislators)
