The Recession’s Footprint – Must See
I received an email from a friend that pointed me to the video below. Do yourself a favor and watch the rate of unemployment in the United States since January 2007. You will be amazed at the impact across the States. If you can’t see the specific detail just know that the color black on the map represents a 10% unemployment rate or higher
I know the video is too big for the blog…I did that on purpose in hopes you can view it better.
I credit the source of this video to Latoya Egwuekwe titled, The Decline, The Geography of a Recession sourced directly from the US Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics.
There are more than 31 million unemployed Americans (according to the USDLB), that is including those who are involuntarily working part time or who actually want a job but have given up trying to find one. We are all in this together. Someone who says that they choose not to participate in the recession have to see this video. They may re-think their comment.
What is your opinion after viewing this video?
