Chris Christie's NJ hits 35 year high for unemployment

Tell us more about the New Jersey economic miracle, Governor Christie.

New Jersey’s unemployment rate jumped to a 35-year high of 9.8 percent in July, the state Labor Department said.

The rate climbed from 9.6 percent in June and is above the national level of 8.3 percent, which also increased last month. New Jersey lost 12,000 jobs in July, with the largest drops in manufacturing, construction, and professional and business services, the department said in a statement today.

A great example of how to fuck up an economy - let repugicans tamper with it.
