Google adds new unemployement feature to search

If you are moving in the United States, it is advisable to settle in a state where the unemployment rate is relatively low. Unfortunately, such precise information is hard to come by, but today, Google has announced a new feature that aims to consolidate all this information. Enter unemployment rate in Google’s Public Data service.

Basically, begin by searching for “Unemployment rate in New York,” or even a specific city or county. After entering in that information, a neat graph will be displayed along with the unemployment rate. If you decide to click through, you can even compare it with either the national rate, or that of another area.
