Link sent to me by Andy, an animated map showing the spread of unemployment since January 2007.

Truvelo:
Why do the Dakotas and Nebraska have low unemployment? I thought these areas were relatively poor.

They may be poor, but most are employed in something.  Poverty and unemployment do not necessarily go hand-in-hand.

People still need food- those areas are largely farming areas- not much manufacturing. Farmers will always have jobs

J N Winkler:
Farmers also get agricultural subsidies, so they are somewhat insulated from boom-and-bust cycles in the commodity markets.
