Very nice. Particularly since it gives me insight into what lots of people are yelling about.
For example, look at the unemployment rate, and click Alaska (where I live) & California (where half the web seems to think that everyone lives).
We see that employment in AK is highly cyclic with a yearly cycle, that there isn't a whole lot of variation otherwise, and that current unemployment is a tad high, but not outlandishly so, and not the highest in the last 20 years.
On the other hand, unemployment in CA in not very cyclic, has significant variation on a scale of 5-10 years, and has recently gone shooting up to the highest level in 20 years.
So perhaps both sides can understand each other a little better.
P.S. Also compare California and Wyoming. And then stop wondering why some of the people in Wyoming don't seem worried.
