A True Picture of Unemployment Across the US

Thanks to Vikki Miller Johnson from Wells Fargo for sharing this unemployment map showing unemployment trends by county across the US from January 2007 through January 2010.

Vikki says, "This will take you two minutes to review, and I think it'll help you understand why we've been seeing so many credit policies that tighten our lending policies.

This is a month by month review, with colorful display, of all counties in the US and their unemployment rates.

Gray, purple and red are the highest unemployment rates. Just watch how those colors "take over" the majority of the Country in the last 36 months. 

The "colors" don't change a whole lot in ND/SD, but the majority of the Country changes dramatically."

This just reiterates how fortunate we are to live and work where we do.  Thanks again, Vikki!
