WV's right wing Chicken Littles keep trying to create a climate of panic in the hope that this will give them the opening to unleash their version of economic shock and awe. Alas for them, the news isn't all bad all the time.
Workforce West Virginia says the state's unemployment rate dropped to its lowest recorded level in September.
The agency reported Monday that the rate dropped seven-tenths of a percent to 4.0 percent in September. That means the number of unemployed residents dropped by 5,700 to roughly 32,900.
About 4,800 jobs were added in the nonfarm employment sector, and there were gains of 600 jobs in the goods-producing sector and 4,200 in the service-providing sector.
We've got plenty of problems and lots of work to do but the sky is still up there...
