The Jobless Rate for People Like You

Check out this graphic: The Jobless Rate for People Like You - Interactive Graphic - NYTimes.com. It shows the various jobless rates for varying groups of people. Some of the results are a bit surprising: women, for example, are faring better than men right now. Others are disturbing: black college graduates, while doing better than the population as a whole, do only about the same as white people of all education levels combined. The recession is clearly toughest on the young. It's just interesting to see this all visually.
