This is an animated color map showing unemployment by county as it grows from January 2007 to October 2009. It’s fascinating to see the map get darker and darker as the colors change–the dark colors are areas of 10%+ unemployment.

Why do the central states only have 2% unemployment, even now? What is so different about their economies? Is there a map that shows the degree to which state economies have relied on debt to drive themslves along? Does that correlate?
Its bizarre, but why does it appear that distance from the oceans has something to do with the amount of unemployment?
[...] This is an animated color map showing unemployment by county as it grows from January 2007 to Octobe… It’s scary wild. [...]
Low employment to start with in those sparely populated mid-west states.
Does that mean that their economies were not artificially pumped up by taking on debt? Or is it they are farming regions and they have “real” products like food, that drive their economies and hence they get money in without having to take on unsustainable debt? Or is it that they are much more resilient, that is have better flexibility to make savings and to hang on? Or is it all of the above?
Might have something to do with conservative approach to business and life.
