Job Gaining and Job Losing Industries 2007-2012
Mish Moved to MishTalk.Com Click to Visit.
In response to Interactive Map: Job Gains and Losses in the Recovery by Job Type (Healthcare, Education, Mining, Construction, Finance, Real Estate, etc), I exchanged Emails with Salil Mehta who has a blog on Statistical Ideas.
Salil asked for a better representation of some of the data in my post, specifically, a pair of tables I posted on jobs gains and losses since 2007.
I put together a line chart of what Salil asked, but I like the pie charts he sent much better. Click on either chart to see a sharper image.
