Unemployment County by County

When I came across this article, it came to my surprised that “unemployment rates were generally higher across the country in January from December, and as a result the graphics editors decided to add a new color category to the map key: one for counties with unemployment rates of 20 percent or higher.” (Rampell) The counties without jobs have increased a large amount compared to other years. We are experiencing one of the worst recessions and it came to a surprise to many people. This article also shows which county has higher or lower unemployment rates. Below is the article where you can visit and see how your county is doing.
