A Decade of Unemployment

VisualEconomics has posted an infographic showing a decade of unemployment. The problem with using a map of the United States to show unemployment is that it limits you to just a few snapshots in time. In this case, the snapshot is limited to the years 2000, 2005, and 2009. However, it does not take much to realize that of whatever political stripe you are, that things have gotten worse over the past decade. Let us hope that the next decade turns out to be much better.
