The map indicates 6,162,836 jobs lost nationwide since October 2008.
I can read what the map says, but I also know very well a number of those counties and the numbers that are given there are not close to being accurate. SW Kansas has had to shut down operations of a number of the beef packing meat processing plants. The actual numbers for those counties are about 10x what is shown on this map. So, if these numbers are not accurate, then why would the others not be under reported?
None-the-less, Six million jobs lost...but the news just reported 20 million now on unemplyment? Who are you gonna believe, especially since all those who were self employed are not eligible for unemployment?
