Unemployment Rate Comparison

Factoid

This data shows a comparison of the unemployment rates of the United States, Florida and Sarasota County. The unemployment rates followed a relatively similar pattern on the county, state and national level. The three levels saw a steep increase in rates from 2007 to 2010, which aligns with the 2007 financial crisis timeline. In 2010, the unemployment rates began to decrease again, but had yet to reach the rates they were at before the increase in 2007.
