What's so great about the Dakotas? My guess is that there is a higher fraction of agriculture/rancher/self employed that simply scale back employment rather than the binary in or out of a job. "My small business is not doing very well" won't likely show up in unemployment statistics.

- teeja 17y agoMore of the people in those states are employed doing the things that have to get done every day ... wait the tables, make the beds, feed the cows. Jobs that don't go away but also don't enrich. With pockets of exception, they don't have nearly as many technical or research or development or education or arts or entertainment jobs ... and those they have got usually couldn't pay any less. "Perpetual misery" might be a caustic, but appropriate, description. (Spent much of my life in them.)
