10 Years Of Hell

One thing that hasn't seen much improvement under Obama is BLS's difficulties figuring out what's actually happening with unemployment.  I'd like to see somebody go back and chart the monthly stats as first reported against the real numbers that come out (quietly) several weeks later.

In case you can't see this well, go to calculatedriskblog.com

Work Force Demographics

A very cool interactive chart.  Click on MALE and then on FEAMLE to get a rather jarring look at the way the mix has shifted over the years. 

I don't know what any of it really means, so if you have any ideas, I'd love to hear 'em.
