If you run that interactive map on unemployment through from 2006 to present, the last frame looks like an all out nuclear attack throughout our country.
Yes, it does.
One observation, the mechanism that drives the map is job loss per county in the U.S. It only registers job losses larger than 1000 in a county. This method hide somewhat the effect in counties where the population is small to begin with.
We have counties near me in Texas that have 1200 people in the entire county. But I can see no apparent job loss here.
But if you look at the map the area’s where there is oil and natural gas production are hardly affected by what is happening (at this point).
