This is an extraordinary (and scary) representation of what's happening with regard to unemployment in the US. The northern plains states are least affected but the rest of the country looks very bad. There must be no single item on the government's agenda more important than jobs. Higher employment means more tax dollars flowing to all government entities whereas higher taxes will ultimately result in greater unemployment.
This is really quite incredible. A visual depiction of unemployment, by County, for the entire United States , over the last 2.5 years. Amazing to watch and only takes a minute or so.
Great to live in SD or NB.
