Interesting chart and comments that show how this recession (in jobs lost) compares to ones in the past. So far the decline is similar to that of '81. Guess I was too young to realize that we were in a recession in '81. Never noticed that one. :)
Nancy Pelosi released a similar chart a while back, but her chart is by total number of jobs lost, not in percentage - which would seem more accurate to me. There's another chart here that shows all recession since the '40s. It's a bit harder to read but still interesting.
