Jobless rate in Houston, TX still high due to low oil price. Most companies are just “fishing” for resumes but not hiring.
The verb "to lag" is intransitive, and requires the preposition "behind." I.e., California's unemployment rate could be said to "lag behind" the national rate. But that would make little sense.
lag behind v. 1. To fail to maintain the pace or progress of someone or something; straggle: I lagged behind the rest of the hikers and got lost. Don't forget to do your readings for class, or you'll lag behind. 2. To proceed or develop with comparative slowness: Sales are lagging behind this year compared to last year.
One could at most say that California's employment recovery was lagging behind that of the nation as a whole.
Journalists!

Anyone that believes anything coming from ABC,NBC,CBS,CNN,... needs to have their lithium doses increased.
REAL UNEMPLOYMENT is 23%
There are 250 MILLION people eligible to be in the Workforce (18-65)
There are only 120 Million TAX FILERS (this includes spouses)
There are 50 Million on FOOD STAMPS
How does one Justify the FRAUDULENT UNEMPLOYMENT RATE Advertised???
There are Very few jobs in California outside very specialized programming and health care. And many of the jobs get filled with foreigners. Millions of Americans without work. But they “don’t exist” in the official Gobbels Employment Statistics
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHH 4/9 % HAHAHAAAHAHAHAHAH
Increasing the minimum wage should help things...
NOT!
Vote Dhimmicrat until the whole nation looks like Detroit!
At the end of the Clinton presidency, the unemployment rate started to increase. Under Clinton, the unemployment surveys had been manipulated to exclude inner cities. Then, just before Bush, he changed the surveys back to normal. This made Bush look bad. I suspect Obama could be doing the same thing. Once Trump is elected, we can expect many documentaries on the homeless.
