Which States are the Nigerians included in ?
Outside of the “big city” counties here in Kentucky, things are booming. The blue areas are pretty hard hit though. Traffic out here has not let up since February, but I’m under the impressions Louisville is a bit of a ghost town. I work there. I’ve been working from home and will be until at least the end of July and probably longer. And that saves me a three hour commute every single day. :)
New York has 4 of the top 8 American cities for job losses.
NY State is the former Eastern Europe - one party, leftist states, slowly on the path of bankruptcy, where the only jobs are with government, and anyone with sense has to flee to the West.
Keep in mind that for most of the Great Depression unemployment was in the 17-18% range. This is an ugly scenario the government created for us.
In Alabama right now unemployed are making over $800 a week. Many, many are making more than if they were working. As I posted yesterday, $800 a week in south Alabama is significant money. There are a lot of people who will not go back to work until they have to.
So much for being just a blue state problem.
IOW, places the liberal elites don’t care about.
It could be that Georgia just has good unemployment software.
