Unemployment Rate Over the Last Decade

This graph clearly does a great job of showing trends of the unemployment rate. We can see a spike most recently in the unemployment rate due to the economic crisis we are currently feeling the effects of. The graph also shows the difference between USA and Canada showing that all of North America is being effected as well. The graph however lacks information about any affects that would directly cause the unemployment. Overall, this is a great graph to show the simple idea of how the job market has been changing as a result of the economy.
