Unemployment is at the heart of economic problems in much of the United States, but there are still many states where unemployment remains low.

Here are some of the best states for employment:

Wyoming – Wyoming has the lowest unemployment rate in the country at just 3.4% thanks to its exposure to oil and gas exploration as well as coal mining. Additionally, Obama’s new plans for the use of clean-coal technology could help the state generate more jobs in the future.

Texas – Texas has low taxes, low regulation and low wages, which has attracted a lot of businesses. These job opportunities and low-cost living make this state home to many of the largest cities in the United States for employment. The stimulus package should also increase jobs in energy and infrastructure.

Oklahoma – Oklahoma City has an unemployment rate of just 4.6%, which is the lowest of all the larger metropolitan areas. The state has obtained some nice profits from its agricultural roots as well as the oil and natural gas industries, which have been big earners in recent months.
