Bon appetit!

Those fortunate to have jobs this Thanksgiving have much to be thankful for, maybe even more than we realize. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics released this visualization of unemployment rates by county “from January 2007-approximately one year before the start of the recession-to the most recent unemployment data available today” and needless to say it’s not a pretty picture. Or in this case not a pretty chart-graph-thing.

And after that completely sobering moment, take a sec to lift your spirits with some comedy courtesy of the Onion News Network and their coverage of Ford’s unveiling of the new “car for the modern age”:
