Well among other factors in that low unemployment rate, was a natural disaster leading to population loss through both casualities and massive emigration to other states, followed by significant money put into the city of New Orleans resulting in a massive inflow of construction jobs.

So I suspect a lot of that low rate relates to federal "big government" too.
