Track the drastic changes by Month since Jan 2007. It says we were at 8.5% in Sept. Florida counties are well over 11% unemployment today.

Man, that map is quite scary.
It's definitely not a fun time to be a job seeker.
After being laid off last September and having to get by on contract work for over a year, I accepted a full-time, permanent position yesterday. Couldn't be happier.
Yeah I'd say it's pretty much the standard for some of us to get 10-20 rejection letters before finally getting a job offer. 2009 will not be missed!

I don't think I could have said it any better myself. o.o

By the looks of it, Florida is not as bad off as I thought. If there was any state to stay away from it Mississippi! Holy cow they are hurting!
