COMMENTARY     

Dr. Hamilton
10th September 2011 		This data should be updated - it a great website but the UE rate is from 2006 - that is absurd the BLS has monthly data and it is free
ND Mom
5th July 2011 		I believe that Illinois should be somewhere in the top 3 of the most unemployed, taxed and in overall the worst U.S. states to live in... i like the website but it would be nice to update it once in a while...
Casey
19th June 2011 		This is June 2011, please update this site. It would be a great site, if it was factual.
Jesse G
26th February 2011 		This site is B.S.! It's not even updated regularly! This site states that Puerto Rico has an unemployment rate of 9.2%. This is from 2006! Department of labor statistic states it is 15.7% as of DECEMBER 2010!!!!!!!!! UPDATE UPDATE, UPDATE!!!
John Leddy
22nd February 2011 		MI with less than 7% unemployment? Texas with 5%!! ... gadd, makes me wonder about the other stats on this site
dan
2nd November 2010 		11-3-2010. Why isn't this site updated since march 2006?
alan
