Title: FW: Income tax and employment

On a related issue, are statistics compiled on the unemployment
rate in a given income zone? Based on my own informal observations
I would bet that the rate of unemployment is highest among those
with the most modest income goals.

Subject: Income tax and employment

I was wondering if a relationship exists between the rate of income tax
and the rate of unemployment. I do not mean the simple minded notion 
that lowering of income taxes will always lead to a reduction in unemployment.
I am looking for evidence of a phase (i.e. time) difference between 
oscillations in income taxes and the unemployment rate.
