It's an interesting little picture. Naturally, it's anecdotal but still informative. Here is another interesting search: "unemployment benefits". It doesn't have the nice annual cycle tell-tale, but funny things happen in 2008.
**es** that is curious, I would have expected it to mirror the 'jobs' trend! maybe, there is a serious lag for 'unemployment benefits'...
