Hmmm build more houses and unemployment is getting worse
Cnn Money: Jobs picture gets worse in 27 states
The national unemployment rate may have only ticked up slightly in August, but on a state-by-state basis, the jobs picture continues to look a lot more grim in places like Nevada, Michigan and California.
A total of 27 states reported higher unemployment rates in August, nearly double the 14 that saw increases in July, the Labor Department said in its monthly report on state unemployment Tuesday.

"The unemployment rate in the Las Vegas area in August was 14.7 percent, the 19th consecutive month of double-digit joblessness."
So much for that fresh start said the underground homeless, who live beneath the cascading lights of glamour, across the way from the Casino Gulag that keeps spinning the number wheel.

Not true, wer'e just reporting on one, it's easy for some to get confused.
There is positive resolution to this, but it's not everyones cup of tea.
A kind of Cod liver oil smuggy. Two sugars?
