Here&#39;s more news that seems to weed-whack through those &quot;green shoots&quot; we&#39;ve started hearing about.  Currently (based on April data), there are 13 cities in the U.S. in which unemployment has reached 15% or higher; five of those have actually exceeded the 17.4% heights of joblessness which Spain is now enjoying.  (It has the highest rate in Western Europe by far.)  Three of the top five, and 9 of the 13, are in California, where the picture has been exacerbated by problems at the local and state governmental level.  The city of El Centro is the dubious &quot;winner,&quot; its unbelievable 26.9% rate distorted by seasonal fluctuations (a large amount of employment is based on agriculture). &lt;p&gt;While all this sounds positively awful, in general, it&#39;s actually better than in March.  That&#39;s when 18 cities topped 15%, and 109 metropolitan areas out of the 372 surveyed zipped past 10% (the total was 93 for April).  So are we in &quot;improvement&quot; mode or not?  Stay tuned to see how the next round of statistics is spun.  &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;em&gt;--Posted by Todd Obolsky, Vault Staff Writer&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
