I'm not sure what these trends correlate to, but they seem to say the trillions in stimulus, bailouts, and pork barreling isn't working yet. But, in fairness, Obama said today he doesn't expect to see it change before we get September's data.
Looking at the Michigan graph, unemployment starts going down in April 1992, starts going up in March 2000, levels out in April 2003, starts going up again in August 2007, and then starts going up exponentially in April 2008. Compared to the US graph, Michigan missed the 2004 to 2007 recovery. Its from the MDLEG which provides graphs and/or raw data and allows you to examine trends for cities, areas, or counties. http://www.milmi.org/cgi/dataanalysi...eName=Labforce
