Updated 03.27.10, The Decline: The Geography of a Recession by LaToya Egwuekwe (OFFICIAL)

According to the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are nearly 30 million people currently unemployed -- that's including those involuntarily working part time and those who want a job, but have given up on trying to find one. In the face of the worst economic upheaval since the Great Depression, millions of Americans are hurting. "The Decline: The Geography of a Recession," as created by labor writer LaToya Egwuekwe, serves as a vivid representation of just how much. Watch the deteriorating transformation of the U.S. economy from January 2007 -- approximately one year before the start of the recession -- to the most recent unemployment data available today.

Right, the progressive plan is to start with high unemployment in their own counties and go from there. It wasn't Congress, it was the financial/mortgage meltdown, nitwits, and that barn door was left wide open by decades of laissez fare, mustn't regulate our Wall Street pals" Republican and Republican-lite policies.

@iam4u2cl8er AMEN! you speak VOLUMES!!! AWESOME how you put it all in a nutshell!!

@MauryCoDem And yet after claiming me an idiot, you still can't disprove any of my points. My "3rd grade" education still beats anything you have. Unemployment has doubled since 2007. Democrats cried about WMDs before Bush ever took office and 47% pay no federal income taxes. You should be able to defeat an idiot. Bring it. Prove me wrong. You can't so I'm sure you won't reply with facts. All you have is ad hominem attacks. Typical liberal-socialist.

@NCMan28025 Not only are you speaking like an idiot, but you are seemingly trying to convince those of us fortunate enough to have passed (eventually) 3rd Grade that you are an ignorant idiot. So far, so good.

I would like to see the chart dating back to 1990 and adjusted for population changes. Can the author do that?

@LunchMoneyDnB lol at the thought that it even matters who is president. presidents have been puppets for a long long time as well as congress, which has all but been hijacked by corporate and the elite of the world.

of course most of the country is stuck on what they feed with the red vs blue, rep vs dem LOLOLOLOLOL

@MeAndMyHobbies dam better get your rifle out! an AR-15 is good on zombie brains. if you don't own one they are cheep if you go to a gun show and buy one only 750 US dollars

@mechanicalbu11 Goddamn right! I totaly agree! Businesses that move to other countries should not be allowed to do business with the United States and not allowed to come back. We need to take our country BACK!!!

[mechanicalbu11]

@iam4u2cl8er so true and common sense type solutions that make globalist hate and cry. i would add a 20 percent tax on all corporations that import goods not made here in the USA. Should these global corporations try to use economic terrorism on us for these policies arrest the CEO and put them in a federal high security detention facility., if that is imposable use asset forfeiture on all holding in the USA that belong to any corporation under their umbrella.
