Trust me, I live in one of these areas and as you said in a post above (paraphrasing of course) you can take that 5.4% and put it in your pipe and smoke it because it has to make better smoke than fact.

Ah I see, its that magical jobless recovery again!
I can't speak for every part of the nation obviously, but the numbers are on my side, and in my area of Illinois, the economy is booming. If you want to make non-verifiable statments that the economy is bad thats fine.
