Unemployed? They don't care.
There are a lot of reasons why Iowa shouldn't be the "first in the nation" when it comes to political primaries, and this election cycle certainly isn't an exception. In fact, it's even heightened this year as what is the most critical problem for the nation's crippled economy—high unemployment—has barely broken the political surface there.
last week.
The first state in the Republican primary contest, Iowa has an unemployment rate of 5. 7 percent, compared with 8. 6 percent for the rest of the nation. And a recent poll revealed that Iowa Republicans likely to participate in the state's Jan. 3 caucus are less worried about unemployment than the rest of the country is.
