Unemployment Drops Again in Alabama After Jobs Open Due to Immigration Law
"Alabama's unemployment rate continues to drop amid state-wide enforcement of a new immigration law, despite Democratic efforts to block and stigmatize the popular reform. December's unemployment rate fell to 8.1 percent, down from 8.7 percent in November and 9.8 percent in September," the Daily Caller notes.
"'In the last three months alone, we've seen an unprecedented drop of 1.7 percentage points,' noted Alabama Republican Gov. Robert Bentley in a Jan. 20 statement."
