One of the pleasures of regularly reading University of Tennessee law professor Glenn Reynolds’s Instapundit blog is that he links to so many interesting webposts. Example: this great graphic on the geography of job gains and losses between 2004 and 2009. Just click on and enjoy. You’ll note that metro Detroit has been bleeding jobs the whole time; you’ll see the robust job creation in Texas in the middle years and its continuing job creation in 2008 (for a moment Texas was generating 80% of the nation’s job gains, mainly because so many metro areas elsewhere were losing jobs); watch the huge job gains and then huge job losses in Phoenix and Las Vegas and southern California. And note this warning from Reynolds: “It looks like some nuclear-war animation toward the end.”
