An online job search engine site called Juju has supplemented their listing value by releasing a Job Difficulty index by US state.  Interestingly enough, the results show that the white house state is undoubtedly your best bet when sourcing employment and Michigan your worst.  The results make sense, as the US government is working tirelessly to employ resources to aid in many of their large scale service tasks and legislation and with Michigan being the automotive state, it goes without saying that employment rates will follow the declines experienced in the automotive industry.  According to FederalJobs.net, the US government is the largest employer in the country, employing an approximate 2. 7 million Americans.

 

Continuing on along the theme of employment visuals, below are three views taken from a CBC coverage piece on employment.  These visuals show unemployment rates from North America and Europe on a colour coded map. It’s very interesting to see how things have changed, especially across the US.

• Slovakia in the red in 2003, with an unemployment rate of over 17%

• 

  Slovakia in the red in 2005, with an unemployment rate of over 18%

 

• Spain in the red in 2010 with an unemployment rate of over 19%.
• United States listed with an unemployment rate of over 10%
