A State-by-State Look at Long Road to Jobs Recovery

The following link is to an interactive map that lays out how long it will take each state to get back to pre-recession employment peak. Now, the results are not pretty. At the median, it will take until the fourth quarter of 2014 to fully recover. This map is based off an analysis from IHS Global Insight. It takes into account a state's industry breakdown, population growth, and demographics. Michigan has the largest road to recovery. http://blogs.wsj.com/economics/2011/11/14/a-state-by-state-look-at-long-road-to-jobs-recovery/?mod=WSJBlog&mod=marketbeat
