I was in college when The Daily Show with Jon Stewart was really taking off, particularly during the 2000 Presidential election. Because of my affinity for the show and its association with those heady days, I've usually refrained from complaining about its flagrant and sophomoric liberalism, and have resisted the urge to tune in to something else.

Posted at 7:36pm on Jul. 20, 2004 State Unemployment Stats
By tyler
The Department of Labor released its latest report on state-by-state employment data for June 2004 earlier today. Some things that it reveals:
- Since June 2003 the unemployment rate has fallen in 47 states. In that time, employment has increased in 46 states.
- Non-farm payroll employment increased in 41 states in June.
- 37 states now have unemployment rates at or below the national unemployment rate of 5.6 percent.
- And here's the big one, I think -- the states with the largest payroll job gains during June were North Carolina (+35,400), Missouri (+27,600), Pennsylvania (+20,300), California (+12,300), South Carolina (+12,000), and Florida (+11,800). Why is that important? I'll let the bold face speak for itself.
If this winds up on CNN or the evening news I'll be shocked. (reposted from Red Line Rants)
