One day you'll wake up and realize that employment in America is always unusually high. During the depths of the last recession it barely crested 10%. What makes it seem worse than it is has been the way these unemployed people are highly clustered today. There's counties with 50-60% unemployment, but they're low-population so they don't skew the national rate all that much. It certainly sucks to be in one of those affected areas, and I know people who are stuck there, but the big picture is a different thing. America is far from a homogeneous thing, but it's also full of opportunity if you're able, willing and prepared to move to them.
