Springsteen summarizes that area's problems pretty eloquently...

And it is getting worse. We have 23.000 abondend/empty houses here. I always feel a little sad when i see the smoke stacks. I am on the West side in an area where a lot of the south eastern european and ukranian steel worker used to live. Still the best part of town.

Unemployment here in CA seems to rise every day. And home prices are down 42% in my area from 2 years ago.

California's not lookin' so good based on this map.

According to the map, MN seems to be about in the middle.

The reality feels a bit different, though.

Yeah! West Virginia is on the POSITIVE side of a ranking for a change!!! We aren't feeling the pinch like the rest of the country - yet...I'm sure it's coming, but so far we're pretty lucky!

NJ is in the middle in everything it seems. I'm going to move to Wyoming...They don't seem to be having any issues!

I'm sure they do. Every state seems to have it's own issues...even alaska, which is in the middle of nowhere land!

Nebraska= 4% unemployment, ZERO budget deficit (state law= balanced budget), 1.55% foreclosures...

Nebraska...the good life...
