NATION'S ECONOMY IN THE TANK - Employment Getting Better And Better In WV

(10/20/2008)

With the US economy hitting the worst bottom since 1929, things look really bright on the employment front in the Mountain State.

The latest Workforce WV statistics show Calhoun with one of it's best unemployment numbers in years, only 4.6%.

Things are even better in Gilmer with only 3.3% unemployment.

Workforce's monthly number is generally used as an indicator about the health of the economy.

Not unlike the wonderfulness of Lake Woebegon where "all the women are strong, all the men are good looking, and all the children are above average," in WV almost everyone has a job.
