yeah, those figures would be the ones. i thought states tracked employment on a employed or not employed basis..and reported totals. so you're saying there are peeps unemployed who are no longer accounted for in those figs? where are the actual numbers then?

i'm in a pretty small little town...a big university kind of insulates it from a "real economy" if you know what i mean.. sometimes they go out of their way to create and maintain jobs.



big picture, did the cuts alleviate some pressure on the economy at a critical moment or not?
