Unemployment in the United States is at a four year low.

The latest numbers show the unemployment rate fell from 7.9% in January to 7.7% in February, the lowest since December 2008. 

It is important to note---these figures were collected before sequestration.

Spending  cuts in Washington are expected to effect current job rates if Congress can not create a sustainable federal budget.

In Northwest Arkansas the latest figures show unemployment at 5.1%.
