Made in America Panel Predicts a Continued Rise in Right-to-Work States

Neal Asbury opened his nationally syndicated “Neal Asbury’s Made in America” show on Radio America by urging listeners to look at the new job numbers with a jaundiced eye. Although Gallup predicted the new unemployment rate would hit 8.3 percent, the Obama administration once again was able to manipulate the jobless numbers to make it appear that the jobless rate has dropped below eight percent.
