Massachusetts Unemployment Photo Gallery

Unemployment tends to rise whenever the economy is turbulent. Just recently, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported the nation's unemployment rate at 7.5, which accounts for over 10.1 million Americans without a job. That's scary. What's scarier is that those numbers are only going to get worse in the coming months.

The Boston Globe recently featured an interesting photo gallery profiling major companies and corporations in Massachusetts that are laying people off.

In the gallery, it shows a picture of the company offices in Massachusetts. It then lists the different statewide locations, how many Massachusetts employees currently work there, and how many people in the state have lost their job.

The photo gallery is definitely grim, but it's worth looking at. Here's to hoping I can find a job once I graduate...

Yikes. That IS scary. Graduate school, anyone?
