Oggi inizierò questo articolo con una domanda: tra Europa e Sud America, quale delle due ha la superficie più ampia ? Se non avete una buona memoria vi metto a disposizione una cartina geografica da consultare, di quelle che avete sempre visto nei libri di scuola: La risposta, ovviamente, è Sud America che ha una superficie quasi 2 volte più estesa del nostro vecchio continente ! Come, la vostra risposta non è stata questa? La cartina sembra dire tutt’altro? Vi starete domandando se vi ho messo una cartina finta o se vi abbia dato una risposta volutamente errata, inventandomi i dati?
AMERICA as a whole has just endured its sharpest recession since the 1930s, and the recovery is still fragile. But as our interactive map (updated April 4th 2011) reveals, the pain has been spread very unevenly. The hardest-hit state, Nevada, has an unemployment rate more than three times as bad as that of North Dakota, the state that has done best on that measure. Unsurprisingly, perhaps, there is a close inverse correlation between growth rates and unemployment. But what of politics? On the whole, the states with the worst unemployment levels tend to vote Democratic, and those with the best are in the Republican camp.
