Job losses in recessions visualized
- davi 18y agoThe point at the end is worth highlighting: Of course, when one tells one story, one leaves out other stories. This graphic doesn't show that the starting points of the recessions were different: 1990: 109 million 2001: 132 million 2008: 138 million
- colins_pride 18y agoThe graphic also conveniently starts with the 1990 recession. Unemployment went from 5.6% in 1979 to 10.8% in 1982 (7.6% now). But wait, what's this at the bottom of the graphic "Office of the Speaker"?!?!? Selective statistics from a politician? Who would've thought!
