Let's face it, rural areas in Ohio are white. Rural areas in Ohio have been devastated by manufacturing jobs leaving their towns. Unemployment is high in rural areas compared to the major cities (Cleveland, Columbus, Cincy) and this was tied to the unemployment rate in pockets or areas.
That's what happens when we fuzzy math the numbers and say "Unemployment is at 5.1%"...we all know it's a lie because that is for all practical purposes "Full employment", which means folks that don't want to work are not gonna work as there has to be jobs out there for them since we are at "full employment".
Not saying I like it, but that's the way both sides are touting things these days. One is the President and a lot of folks on here saying "Wow this economy is humming and has recovered, look 5.1% unemployment" and the other side that says "Well since we have such low unemployment then we need to cut benefits as there are jobs everywhere".
I despise it all, the lies that is.
