Updated 08.5.10, 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 31 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.

Recession? Hey get it right...say the word that nobody wants to hear. ITS A FULL BLOWN DEPRESSION. Hope you got your survival gear ready! With no real money in circulation it will be much worse than the 1930s. At least back then money was good quality silver coins being used. Now its only Credit...IOUs or worthless paper.

Though many may not comment on your vid and hard work it is certainly being e-mailed to many across the country as I have had several friends e-mail your map to me. Thankyou for the hard work as it is a great source of information !!!

It's a depression all right, a slower one than the last time. But when it starts to go, it's gonna go.

The already weakened foundations of the US economy were shaken in 2008. I am afraid that the shock left damage deep inside the system. It's only a matter of time before the ball picks up speed. After that... well good luck to you all. My heart goes out to all Americans when the whole thing crashes. Be safe.

Reverse this? Say aloud daily:

Dear God and any angel that hears this call. Please improve the economy across the United States of America.

Thank you for your assistance.

Say your full name.

Or maybe it was carefully crafted so some people could get their power back in the coming election of november 2010. You know, the people that have the last word in employment are the same that are usually heavily favored by the republican party economic policies.

@ChristianDiane1 Obama IS a PUPPET! Bought and paid for by the NWO Elitists, for whom George Soros is their Spokesman and Commander!

Haven't you been paying attention?

Start doing some research... and you'll see who's working "behind the curtain" -and what they are up to. Then you'll know what you need to watch for and how to prepare to deal with it. It's gonna be a long, tough time, but we can make it through if we do things right.
