Shocking Unemployment Map

Watch this animated map of unemployment shown county by county for the entire US and weep.  It starts out before the recession officially began and slowly becomes a tidal wave of purple and dark gray.  Locally, Houston County went from light orange to purple in two years, which is 4.0-4.9 % to 7.0-9.9 %.  Won’t be long until it is mostly dark for the country.
