Here's an animated map of U.S. unemployment rates by county from January '07 to October '09. The darker the color, the higher the unemployment rate.

I can't help but notice that our intellectual superiors on the coasts have it the worst (so far), while those ignorant provincial bumpkins in the Rockies and Great Plains are experiencing comparatively lower rates of unemployment.

Thanks for putting that up Ben. Our local uber Libertarian is an old retired doctor (guess what he thinks of health care "reform"). He's just shy of 90, so he remembers the Great Depression well. He said this things scared the hell out of him.
