Bureau of Labor Statistics + Tableau
The Bureau of Labor Statistics recently published updated numbers on American livelihood. How are we doing? "Ten areas recorded jobless rates of at least 15.0 percent, while 32 areas registered rates of less than 5.0 percent. Two hundred forty-six metropolitan areas reported over-the-year increases in nonfarm payroll employment, 115 reported decreases, and 11 had no change. The national unemployment rate in April was 7.7 percent, not seasonally adjusted, down from 8.7 percent a year earlier." http://www.bls.gov/news.release/metro.nr0.htm Below, I've plugged the numbers into Tableau.
