Over at Good they take a look at the rising number of failing banks in the US, and have a simple infographic showing the meteoric rise in the last two years as a result of the economic recession.
Each quarter, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation releases the number of banks it feels might need to be bailed out by the government. And though signs continue to point to the recession nearing its end, problems at banks continue to grow rapidly. This is a look at the number of problem banks on the FDIC list for the first quarter of the last 10 years, along with the total assets controlled by those banks.
