These are the only 3 states that impress me.

Everyone else sucks-some worse than others, but they all suck nonetheless.

I'm really really not an expert with this but, could the recent flooding this year have contributed to this at all, even a lil? I can't imagine the impact was as bad all this but I remember everything sounded pretty bad when it happened.

These days it pays to live within 100 miles of I-35.

My reaction was similar, but for everything above 5% unemployment rate.
That's terrible how so many people are unemployed, families in pain, my sympathy goes out to all states with high unemployment. Especially Nevada and Michigan, I don't think early 1900's anyone in Detroit saw it coming, and late 1900's anyone in Las Vegas saw it coming either...

Harshhhhhh.
