Unemployment Rate in New Jersey Unacceptable

Unemployment continues to be way too high in New Jersey. Our leadership needs to do something quickly to turn this around

I just read that NJ unemployment rate is at 9.2% NJ ranks 45th in the nation. I believe our Governor, along with the rest of the Republican leadership swept into office at the national, state and local levels said creating jobs was....job#1. I guess the politicos in NJ did not get the memo. I guess the concept of lowering business taxes in order to free up $ for jobs doesn't work too well. Our Governor has touted balancing the state budget, with the job market in the state having nothing to show for it. Does anyone have any good ideas on how to create jobs?
