Thanks, Nat, for pointing us towards this set.  One thing that I do when
I can get maps organized like this .pdf file is organized is to fuzz my
eyes up (I have no idea about the technical term, but I mean so that
you're not focused on any particular part of the country) and scroll
quickly through the set looking at the patterns, noticing how the
general patterns of light and dark change.  I've done this backwards and
forwards and it's stunning how low the unemployment is in the middle and
how high it is on the coasts, though, of course, a good many of the
politicians have been pointing these things out about their respective
areas for a good long time.
