not see the various different views of the same numbers...
What is very telling to U.S. is that WHEN you start the chart shows U.S. a very different picture of where we are. And, what most chart show U.S. is that we ARE stuck in an "L" shaped jobless recovery.
The Gallup chart is different, for two reasons: 1st it claims that the UI rate is higher than anyone else does and 2nd it is being used by Faux News to show U.S. that we are worse off than even they claimed we are.
Below that "politically incorrect" chart is the AP summary of WHO is most affected by unemployment. While all of U.S. are equally is this mess, some of U.S. are in much worse shape than others.
What that list does NOT tell you is WHERE those people live.
