My main issue with this map is the appropriateness of giving 5% unemployment a bright red color, as it suggests that 5% is the proper point at which people should feel alarmed. If so, we should have been alarmed 82 of the last 119 years: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:US_Unemployment_1890-2008.gif
