ANNAPOLIS, MD (May 20, 2011) – Governor Martin O’Malley issued this statement today following the announcement that Maryland employers added 11,600 jobs last month, a rate of job growth that is nearly triple the national average and marking the fourth consecutive month of falling unemployment rate:
“Last month’s jobs report shows that Maryland employers continue to outperform the rest of the nation, led by encouraging expansion in the private sector and marking the gain of 13,000 jobs since January. Since that time, more than 24,000 additional Marylanders have started working – moms and dads who deserve the dignity and respect that a good job provides. This is the strongest start to the year for Maryland’s workforce since 1986.
“Together, we are moving forward by making the right choices and the right investments to create jobs through innovation. Maryland is uniquely positioned to be a winner in this new economy, and Maryland employers continue to show that our state is open for business.”

One step forward and 3 steps backwards , of course you won't hear about the backward steps.
They must have been on the western shore of course. I havent heard about any new jobs around here.
A friend of mine who has has his unemployment bebifits run out was called by a state employee and told that he should stop filing. He told her that "without filing how would you know if I was still out of work?" She promised to send him a seperate form for this purpose but never did. He is still with out work after three years, I believe in my heart that they are cooking the books
