Yeah but not every state... somebody had to go down for the overall US numbers to be at a loss. Admittedly, it could all just be Detroit.



I went looking for what the lone hit song about Thursday might be, and found it in the original article for Bruce's graphic: "Sweet Thursday," Johnny Mathis 1962.

This is an interesting document with some interesting graphs and charts if someone knows how to clip them. The bottom line is a somewhat different economy in Texas. Texas had pretty consistent higher unemployment than the country as a whole until around 2006. From then on Texas performed better than the rest of the country. Now with energy prices sinking we'll see if its a sustainable thing.

No way. Over the years I gotten many people's goats, and never given them back.
No one knows the number or where they are now.

Obviously you left them, or they wandered to, Texas.
