But it's not just the rankings – it's the wide discrepancy in percentages. The unemployment rate in State College is 6.1%. In Lebanon and Lancaster it's 7.3%. In all of Pennsylvania, in numbers just announced Thursday, it's 8.8% - and nationwide, it's 9.6%. What's behind the numbers. Is it a question of methodology? Demographics? Particular employers or industries?

Then...Sam Donaldson is a 42 year ABC News veteran – he's served in nearly every reporting capacity imaginable, including two appointments as chief White House correspondent, he's been a Capitol Hill correspondent, anchored World News Sunday, served as co-anchor of Prime Time Live and the Sunday morning program This Week, and while he's now retired from full time work at ABC News, he continues to appear as a contributor on the This Week roundtable and a contributor to ABC News Radio.

Donaldson will give the keynote address Friday at the 147th Dedication Day at the Soldiers' National Cemetery in Gettysburg. We'll talk with him about that appearance, and about the state of journalism and politics in America.
