Ohio's Unemployment Rate

The monthly unemployment report from the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services was released and the unemployment rate in Ohio was 6.1%. According to the report, nonfarm wage and salary rose 4,700 from April to May 2005. http://jfs.ohio.gov/releases/unemp/UnempPressRelease.htm This report is just plain crap! Where are these jobs? What companies, stores, and offices have hired people? I'd like to know because I know one unemployed college grad who has been looking for a job for 11 months. I think we should make the state and federal governments release the names of companies and their locations where jobs were created. Why? It is just too easy to lie with statistics.
