942 - Charts and graphs

I like charts and graphs. They're so much easier to figure out than words. At least in my own mind. I'll make up a new saying here. It goes along with "A picture is worth a thousand words". How about "A graph has a thousand interpretations". Yep, figures don't lie but liars can figure. And all that stuff.

I found a site that has lots of charts and graphs. And this guy likes to post a lot. He's a retired economist. (You remember what an economist is don't you? A gypsy fortune teller in training. I guess if you retire as an economist, you didn't quite make it.) So anyway, this guy can crank out some posts. Some of them have neat graphs. Below is one that I found in an online article.

Here's the LINK to the day this graph was posted.

Here's CALCULATED RISK's main page.


Side note - when spell checking got to 'biggerize', it asked me if I meant buggering. I think it knew what the graph was all about.

Nothing to kill a Monday morning like charts and graphs.

I think every chart or graph about this recession is going to be ugly. Especially when it comes to jobs.

That chart scared me so much I couldn't think of anything witty to write.

vw: paiddi - what Prince Charles did to provide pin money to his former wife.

Jay - That's an understatement.

Bilbo - That's a first.
