SpyPig - Free Email Tracking System - Find out if your email has been read! Data Format All the visualizations in Many Eyes accept the same data table format except 'Word Tree' and 'Phrase Net', where as, all the charts in the category 'Analyze a text' understand free text also.

Tech unemployment higher than white-collar average February 18, 2011 06:00 AM ET IT jobs fared worse than many other professional occupations last year, according to recent data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. While the unemployment rate for all professional occupations was 4.5% in 2010, all but two categories of tech workers exceeded that number. Doing better than average: database administrators (with the lowest rate of the categories measured, at 2.9%) and network systems/data communications analysts.
