GOP Joblessness
2011-07-30 - by
Are Democrats asleep? Below are two news reports that ran a week ago. They are rich fodder for North Carolina Democrats to use against Republicans. But I haven’t seen them do it:
“State cuts push up NC jobless rate – North Carolina’s jobless rate rose to 9.9 percent in June, the highest level since last fall and the first increase in more than a year. The increase, from 9.7 percent in May, reflects a bleak situation for job seekers as private businesses and governments, reacting to budget reductions made by the GOP-led state legislature, cut positions or remain reluctant to add staff. North Carolina’s unemployment rate remains well above the national average, which also rose in June to 9.2 percent.”
“Spike in school and government layoffs forces NC jobless rate well above US mark – North Carolina’s unemployment rate jumped to 9.9 percent in June as community colleges, universities and other state government employers, following severe budget reductions made by the GOP-led state legislature, cut 7,600 workers, the state Employment Security Commission said Friday.”
