If illegals are so good for the economy and if "immigrants" supposedly create jobs, why is the unemployment rate so high in the USA's #1 illegal immigration state, California? Sen. Harry Reid has been encouraging illegal immigration to Nevada and now they have the highest unemployment rate in the country!

California unemployment rises in July to 12%

California's unemployment rate climbs two-tenths of a percentage point in July, the U.S. Department of Labor says, to 12%. The state has the second-highest jobless rate in the nation, exceeded only by Nevada at 12.9%.

Reporting from Sacramento— California's stubbornly high unemployment rate rose even higher in July, climbing two-tenths of a percentage point to 12%, the U.S. Department of Labor reported Friday.

It was the second straight monthly increase in joblessness as measured by a federal survey of households.

California's unemployment rate was the second-highest in the nation, exceeded only by Nevada at 12.9%.

The state's employers added a modest 4,500 new jobs to payrolls, according to a separate monthly check of businesses. Last month, there were a revised 30,500 new jobs.

That level of growth, while welcome, is not strong enough to put a dent in California's large pool of out-of-work people, analysts said.

"This is much like we've been seeing, slow growth," said Howard Roth, chief economist for the state Department of Finance. "But, recently, [unemployment] has been going the wrong way on us."

National unemployment in July was 9.1%, a slight improvement over June's 9.2%. Non-farm employment increased by 117,000.
