Today was mostly about the (Un)Employment report. Here are three posts:

Employment Report: 663K Jobs Lost, 8.5% Unemployment Rate Includes a graph of unemployment rate and year-over-year employment.

Part Time for Economic Reasons Hits 9 Million

Employment: Comparing Recessions and Diffusion Index This has a comparison of job losses in the current recession with previous recessions.

Best to all.
