Picturing Unemployment, May 2009

 

In May, the U.S. unemployment rate spiked by another half percentage point.  Since the recession started in December 2007, the unemployment rate has risen by 4.5 points (correction: earlier post said 4.4). The only episode with recessionary change this big was the 4.5 point increase during the double 1980-82 recessions. This spike in unemployment has been recorded over 17 months, exactly half the time, and number of recessions, needed to cause as much damage then. 

We are experiencing the deepest and swiftest recession in the U.S. since the Great Depression of the 1930s. It is definitive.

I guess the point is to give and save as much as you can and make your money work for you like the good servant we should strive to be.

To offer a different perspective, I'm not sure that economics of transportation will ever drive us to become Locavores. Oil is but a sparse fraction of the cost of transport and distribution.
To me it is all about community and a healthy lifestyle. I would much prefer buying local even at higher cost because of the value to our community. And if we can get local volume over the threshold of economies of scale, then will be self sustaining. Unfortunately, Locavorism today is really on the fringe. In business terms, we need more market share - and then the economics will work too.
