US Employment Slump Chart - a GOOD LEADING ECON INDICATOR

US Employment Slump Chart - How To | PTS Blog: "In US Employment Slump Chart I used a panel column chart to display the size of nonfarm sectors of the US workforce and the change in number of jobs in each sector. It is a panel chart even though the percent of workforce and job change panels are not separated by a line. The white space separates the panels sufficiently."
BY PERCENT OF US WORK FORCE BY JOB NUMBERS

Norton's comment: When these numbers turn around, so will the economy. These are better indicators than unemployment since the govt plays with those #s, for example, people that have given up trying to look for work.
