LA’s Unemployment Rate is Twice as High as Minneapolis’s
Update: Got excited and wrote a title that was wrong. Los Angeles County, with a population of 9.86 million and an unemployment rate of 12.7%, has 1,252,000 unemployed people.

Which is fun to picture, but the rate is what really matters.

I sure hope those commercials were entertaining.
