America Takes Representative Grijalva's Advice

And boycotts his district. Arizonans should return the favor on November 2.

While the rest of the state appears to have stopped losing jobs, Yuma County is the only metro area reported by the state to have continued the losing trend — and one local expert says we're not out of the woods yet.

The number of people working in the state last month actually is slightly higher than those employed a year earlier. That is the first time the state Department of Commerce has found such a year-over-year change in nearly three years. The Arizona Department of Commerce released the new numbers Thursday.

But the numbers for Yuma County show a slightly different story, with a .2 of a percentage point gain from 23.7 percent unemployment in August to 23.9 percent unemployment in September. 

Of course, it was Yuma's Representative Grijalva who advocated the boycott.
