My colleague Joe Alexander passed along a map developed by Latoya Egwuekwe that gives a very stark visual display of the spread of unemployment. Go to this site, press the play button and watch employment spread across the country over the past three years. You may want to watch it a few times.

That is absolutely incredible. It will be interesting to see how much this grows over the next few months and maybe even through the next year.
The recession is creating both hardship and opportunity. Those who recognize the opportunity will use this time of uncertainty and high unemployment to improve their marketability.
