Unemployment rate by county!

I'm usually what I think of as an optimist when it comes to the economy. I believe the media intentionally blows up the "facts" to keep people glued to their televisions and buying newspapers.

However, a professor sent this over our class list serve: http://cohort11.americanobserver.net/latoyaegwuekwe/multimediafinal.html

If accurate, it's depressing to watch the country slowly covered with "black" counties - which according to this have higher than 10% unemployment.

What are your thoughts? As a recently unemployed person (I'm nearly done with my Masters degree, however), it's disheartening and makes me dread searching for a job!
 
Wow- it's interesting to see how the Deep South lost jobs so quickly. And if it's correct, it puts a new spin on Texas's bragging about how our state is supposedly surviving the recession better than most states. :rolleyes:
 
My county is deep purple in the graph, but as of now we'd be listed as black.
Interesting link, though.

As for myself, I'm unemployed and have been for over a year.
