I guess it's all pretty relative. Where I live in Caldwell County, NC the
unemployment rate is quite high! http://tinyurl.com/h8keu

And so the economy here is REALLY BAD RIGHT NOW!

As far as the Fed. interest rates, there is quite a bit of discussion as to
whether Bernanke knows what the hell he is doing!

Op --being right-handed, I can see that you wouldn't understand that knot
(obroff) all of us live in the Mecca of hi-tech--

There's always regional problems, but the state of North Carolina
actually has a lower unemployment rate than the entire left-coast.

North Carolina - 4.6
Washington - 5.1
Oregon - 5.6
California - 5.0
