Interactive California Unemployment Map
- jwilliams 18y agoClever - but the transition between the colours is a bit deceptive. At different points different areas will snap from "dark green" to "light red" - which is really only an incremental change on the scale, but looks very stark as a transition.
- sidsavara 18y agoAgreed, it really should be something like * Dark greed good * Light green not so good * Light Red Bad * Dark Red really bad
- indiejade 18y ago"dark greed" != good (sorry! could not resist) Such an odd distribution of 21 - 30 % unemployment counties. I guess if California were an island, living in a "landlocked" county would mean especially bad news.

- shellerik 18y agoThe seasonal changes are interesting. More work in the valley during the summer. More work at the ski areas in the winter.
- kennyroo 18y agoI agree that the color choices aren't great, but the simplicity of the design is quite nice. (So many of them end up being Flashy nightmares.) I'd like to see more info graphics like this one, which communicate trends in a clear new way.
- critic 18y agoWhat do they do just north of SF?
- emmett 18y agoMostly farmland, scattered small towns. A lot of wineries and grape farms. World class restaurants, a lot of tourism.
