If you are a 50-year-old white woman, you have a 9.9 percent chance of a cancer diagnosis thus far in your lifetime and a 6.9 percent chance of diabetes. But fast forward 20 years: At 70 your risk for both diseases will roughly double, based on current trends. If you are Hispanic, you'll face different health challenges. A 70-year-old Hispanic woman has a much higher chance of a diabetes diagnosis than a white woman — 26 percent — but a lower chance of cancer, just 7.7 percent.

The economic crisis, which has claimed more than 5 million jobs since the recession began, did not strike the entire country at once.
A map of employment gains or losses by county tells the story of how those job losses first struck in the most vulnerable regions and then spread rapidly to the rest of the country. As early as August 2007, for example—several months before the recession officially began—jobs were already on the decline in southwest Florida; Orange County, Calif.; much of New Jersey; and Detroit, while other areas of the country remained on the uptick. Using the Labor Department’s local area unemployment statistics, Slate presents the recession as told by unemployment numbers for each county in America.
Because the data are not seasonally adjusted for natural employment cycles throughout the year, the numbers you see show the change in the number of people employed compared with the same month in the previous year.

Dans la course vers la reprise, les pays ne courent pas au même rythme. Les bulles qui représentent chaque pays gonflent ou dégonflent en fonction du poids de la dette.

D'autres économies ont été touchées plus brutalement, comme en Allemagne.
