There seems to be a connection between state budget cuts and increased private unemployment ....

Most countries enforce their borders and immigration more than the USA has. We are not some overfull lifeboat for parasitic attack by greedy on board and those who would sink us from outside.
Sure the old Star trek optimistic view of one planet and people all equal was rosy. There are just too many differences in our species for that to happen. We are not homogenous, and more like two or more different species, only one of which can live sustainably on Earth.... Getting rid of those who violated our borders and took American jobs, need to pay their fines and leave peacefully. Those who employed them, encouraged them, and aided them, must also pay their fines and do their time. Americans will fill those jobs and pay taxes. If those laws are not enforced, then why enforce any laws? And I want my money back I had to pay in fines for my misdemeanor! I want the money back it cost me to clear my name from felony arrests that were bogus, or the one for pot. Hey, the government gets away with corruption, should we all be corrupt???
I want the $350,000 in my own suppressed wages back!!! I want the great country America was when I was a kid back!!! I do not want to press 1 for English!!!!

Wayne that's a fairly noisy plot to be deriving anything from a linear correlation. Not to say one couldn't, but it'd be very weak if one did. I'd also question the statistical significance of any metrics derived from the data. For those of you in la-la land, what that means is that straight mathematical calculations will always give you an answer, but that the answer may not be sufficiently meaningful to draw conclusions or make reasoned decisions.

I'm not convinced that creating jobs is so much a solution in the first place. Consider employability of the available labor pool.

I'm not suggesting there is relation at all. Just another way to look at it. Market gets tough, it gets tougher to find a job. I don't have that problem but then, folks like me put as much distance between themselves and unemployment as possible while we are employed. You know what I mean!

As for the numbers, yeah, increased spending seems to have offset a downward trend. It's still a weak correlation and not one I'd use in support of any point.
