"Canada: America's Reminder That Civilization Is Possible"
***
"The state is experiencing the largest labor-force contraction it's ever seen -- 77,000 fewer people were working or searching for work this October than a year ago. This should, but won't, settle a partisan debate. Cutting unemployment insurance apparently hasn't encouraged the unemployed to look harder for work: It has caused them to drop out of the labor force altogether...Ron Pringle, a food-bank director who oversees seven counties and 230 organizations in the state's southeast, says they've seen on average a 17 percent increase in need since last year." Evan Soltas in Bloomberg.
