Arkansas 8th Worst State To Find Work

So it’s not my lack of qualifications or my hair color that are keeping me from getting a better job, but it’s the state!

Arkansas was listed as the 8th worst state to find a job in the United States. The Bureau of Labor Statistics released a list of the 15 states with the highest unemployment rates. If you are unsure of how they come up with the unemployment rate, it is based on the ratio between the number of available jobs and the population of an area.

The U.E. rate for Arkansas is locked in at 5 percent with a mean annual wage of $30,870.

I don’t know about you, who is probably making WAY more money than me, but I would take that wage over my current one any day.
