Cruznolfart Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 This thing is fascinating. Remember, no political commentary or it'll be zapped. No pointing fingers, no name calling, no chicken-little hysteria. Just some interesting economic data in a graphic format. Best of luck keeping this one up. http://cohort11.americanobserver.net/latoyaegwuekwe/multimediafinal.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackie Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 So far I am doing OK .........as I do home repair and handyman work.........but now a lot of the unemployed are jumping in to this field at either way low prices or way high and ripping folks off with shoddy work.............but as long as people live in houses there will be work for me.

jaxson50 Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 I don't think the map is accurate, it shows the area I live in at 2% to 3% and just last week on our news it was reported to be at 9%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may be some discrepancies. But it's as bad as it looks or worse, that's fairly certain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Plains Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 That's some scary sh*t when you look at the population of the US. What is the population now - 340,000,000? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
