Do you think it is an indicator of the coming Train Wreck?

I'm a cartographer, not an economist.

IF someone held a gun to my head and demanded that I answer the question, I would ask for more data. I'd want to see the maps for other periods of high unemployment (i.e. 1959, 1961, 1971, 1975, 1983 [unemployment was higher then than now], 1992, and 2003). I would want to see the geographic distribution and the rate of change. I would compare those events with the current event.

But I would keep in mind that we did not have a president who was bent on the destruction of the country.

Here is the best indication of a train wreck:

See also: US BLS site for an excellent data source for overall unemployment rate charts.
