- Geography of the Recession--Interesting interactive map of the recession from the New York Times. "Job losses have been most severe in the areas that experienced a big boom in housing, those that depend on manufacturing and those that already had the highest unemployment rates."
- Healthcare and Education are the Big Job Engines--According to this BusinessWeek article, developing paths to education and healthcare jobs are where we can get the most economic bang for our buck: "The two sectors, long maligned as inefficient, may turn out to be the best hope for sustaining the economy. Hospitals, universities, and the like employ about 30 million workers, or 22% of the workforce. These employees are numerous enough and well-paid enough, on average, to prop up the economy while housing and finance recover."
