The Jersey Comeback – Real or a Joke? [POLL]

The news came out today. New Jersey’s unemployment rate now stands at 9.8%. It’s a record level which hasn’t been seen since 1977. The state lost 12,000 more jobs in July. All according to figures released today by NJ’s Labor Department.

Do you buy it? The national unemployment rate at the end of July stood at 8.3% by the way. Meaning New Jersey now trails it by 1.5 percentage points which is a 30 year record.
