West Virginia trails badly in employment %

West Virginia’s unemployment rate is 6.6%, much higher than the national average of 5.8%, which is the best in six years.

The bad news: Median family income in the U.S. has fallen to 1995 levels. In other words, workers are no better off than they were two decades ago.

Ohio’s unemployment rate is 5.6%, slightly better than the national percentage. Georgia is the worst, at 7.9%.
