Louisiana and Texas have the best economies in the south without a doubt. No business wants to be in a piece of shite state like Georgia or Alabama.

Wait, people actually believe unemployment statistics put out by the government? 
Oh so shiny.

Worst of the bunch. Sadly not surprising.

I was just hoping you might give me some insight into the evolution of the market economy in the southern colonies. My contention is that prior to the Revolutionary War, the economic modalities, especially in the southern colonies, could most aptly be characterized as agrarian precapitalism...

Not to be an dick, and this applies to every state, but unemployed only goes to people who say they are looking. A ton of poor, elderly, and minority don't claim that.

Good thread but it needs some charts.

Louisiana and Texas have oil, wich makes them stronger, Tennessee has nothing, how is it that we are still going strong in this enviroment? (minus memphis).

Three states combined for Memphis??? I'd guess that MS & AR have even higher rates than TN but I'd love to see a breakdown of that. Memphis and its TN 'burbs/broader metro area have a lot of rich folks. West Memphis, Ark, not so much.
In general though, these numbers look too high given the recession has hit the South particularly hard.

I wonder what that number is if you remove North Charleston?

Grads from Auburn, Bama, LSU, UT, USC all hop on the train to Atlanta after graduation to find work, because there isn't much in there own shite states for the most part. That inflates ATL's unemployment numbers. If all the Auburn and Bama grads went back to Alabama, their unemployment rate would be around 80%, and ATL's would be about 2%.
