Virginia's unemployment rate fell for the second consecutive month, dropping to 5.7 percent in November, the Virginia Employment Commission said Tuesday. The seasonally unadjusted rate was 6.0 percent in October and 6.4 percent in September.
With seasonal adjustments, the jobless rate fell to 6.2 percent in November from 6.4 percent in October and 6.5 percent in September. The state's jobless rate remained significantly below the national seasonally adjusted average, which was 8.6 percent in November. Virginia was buoyed by an increase of 13,000 jobs in transportation in November, as businesses stepped up hiring for the holidays. The next-largest increase - 5,700 - was in local government. The state plans to release November unemployment rates for cities on Jan. 4.

It's all Obama's fault!

The stock market has doubled since 2009.
Americans net worth is up $9 trillion dollars since 2009.

Auto sales were up 13.9% in November.
Pending home sales were up 10% in October.
Retail sales were up 16% over the Thanksgiving weekend.
Unemployment is down to 8.6%
The deficit problem has been solved with the expiration of the Bush tax cuts in Dec. of 2012 and the automatic spending cuts that kick in in Jan. of 2013.
Bin Laden and Gaddafi are dead.
And it's all Obama's fault!
C33 lies and distortions,
“The stock market has doubled since 2009” Stock market value when Obama took office on 23 Jan 2009 = 8,077.56, Stock market value 16 Dec 2011 = 12,099.30
“Unemployment is down to 8.6%” Unemployment is up since Obama took office from 7.6 percent
“ Americans net worth is up $9 trillion dollars since 2009”
A new report by the Federal Reserve shows that the total value of the net worth of all the households in America is $57.4 trillion — a drop of $8.3 trillion since the end of 2008, when it peaked at $65.7 trillion.
“The deficit problem has been solved with the expiration of the Bush tax cuts and the automatic spending cuts in 2013.” A laughable lie.
C33 forgot a record number of people are sinking towards poverty is up a
stevenh3's lies and distortions
Since April 2009 to Jan 2011 the stock market doubled.
From Jan 2009 to Jan 2011 Americans net worth increased by $9 trillion dollars according to a Federal Reserve report.
Unemployment has gone from a high of 9.9% in 2009 to 8.6% now.
The drop in net worth this summer was the result of the treasonous Tea Party/Republicans bringing the country to the brink of non payment of debts. The stock market has since recovered.
And yes, a return to the Clinton tax rates and a trillion dollar reduction in spending will go a long way to solving the debt problem which was created by the Bush tax cuts.
So stop lying steveh3. Everything in this post is the truth. Look it up.
The internet is a great thing.....
"The drop in net worth this summer was the result of the treasonous Tea Party/Republicans bringing the country to the brink of non payment of debts."
"The report found that household debt declined at an annual rate of 1.25 percent from the previous quarter. The main reason was a decline in mortgage debt, which has fallen for 14 straight quarters.
But the drop is deceiving. Mortgage debt is declining mainly because so many Americans are defaulting on payments and losing their homes to foreclosure — not just because people are paying off loans."

Snake like character
Perfect example of distortion:
"Since April 2009 to Jan 2011 the stock market doubled."
The generally accepted rule when trying to apply a figure/statistic to a president is from the day they take office. You libs like to quote that Bush was given a budget surplus because that's the generally accepted figure on the day he took office. You on the other hand, want to pick and choose the number/date you want to start with. I quoted the stock market value when he took office and compared it to now. Anyone here who isn't a partisan hack can see that you are manipulating, lying, or both.
Face it, your posts don't stand up to scrutiny.
General accepted rule?
Generally accepted rule? That's BS. Everything in my post was true. Look it up. The stimulus worked, and the economy has been recovering since 2009. You just can't handle the truth.
I don't have a problem with
I don't have a problem with the truth - I have a problem with manipulators and liars.
The reason it continues to drop is
The unemployment payments are running out for the lazy deadbeats that were abusing the system for the past few years. Sorry folks, it's time to go back to work and pay your own way for a change.
Dumb post
You can't collect unemployment unless you have been working and paying into the system. Those people aren't "lazy deadbeats."
To say you think Virginia's
To say you think Virginia's unemployment rate should be worse simply to ensure Obama is a one term president show that it's not about his job performance for you but the fact you just don't like the man. Same is many others.
