That is the opposite of recovery.

That map is scary man! Holy @%(&@

That’s unbelievable. It sure does paint a picture. The lay offs have increased in the last couple of weeks where I’m at. The large local companies are starting to fail and with them the local economy. The local Wal-Mart is laying off and the ones who got to keep their jobs have had their hours cut. I’m afraid it’s just the beginning.

It's like a disease spreading. When Wallyworld lays off, that's a new ball game there folks.

So, that is the recovery in reverse? That is truly scary and the entire country virtually becomes an economic dead zone. The politicians are getting nervous I am sure, because if these unemployment figures continue to soar; there will be panic in the streets. There is nothing more scary than a hopeless man on an empty stomach.

I just wish the media would do their jobs, instead of pushing a political agenda. There jobs are to tell the people the truth, not read off a government drafted script. Apparently, that is what they are doing. They are only echoing what is being said out of the White House about economic recovery. When in all reality, if they left their cozy offices or the congressional cafeteria, and talk to everyday Americans on the street; they would get a far darker picture than what is being said by the government.

At least we can see through the smoking mirrors, but I feel sorry for the people that believe what is being said by the MSM and the government about our road to economic recovery and jobs galore. Hopefully, there will be an uptick in employment, even a small one, because that video was worse than any horror film I have ever seen.

the unemployment rate goin up yes, but you also have to consider the amount of people simply stepping out of this society and refusing to work and pay the "taxes" to support this system, time to start our own thing, i see this map as a good thing, down with the system, and hurray for individual freedom. drop your shackles and join the cause, remember most of us think slavery is wrong, i refuse to be apart of debt/economic slavery

So... How's that cardboard box treating you?

Economic recovery? I think it's a time lapse of economic disintegration, starting in late 2007, like the current recession.

Well if you have been paying attention to the numbers over during the past year or so then this graphic tells you nothing new. The only thing this graphic tells us is where the the recession is spreading to. Economic slow downs always start in the more populated areas (basically on the coasts) and spreads to the middle.

The colors used (going from light to dark) are meant to have a psychological impact. At the moment the rate of unemployment is decreasing; if we continue this trend then the employment decline will bottom out, however we will not see positive results until we have a decrease in the actual unemployment (as far as this graphic is concerned).

Had this been a graphic showing the rate at which unemployment was declining/increasing we would already see the positive results.
