continues to rise, the unemployment rate in the U.S. that reached in February 8, 1%, the highest level since December 1983. 
The first chart on the side instead allows us to observe the situation in terms of job and shows us a picture even worse.
The total number of employed has decreased in February by about 3% over the previous year, a level much worse than the recession of 1981-82 which had a maximum decrease of 1, 5%, and even the recession of 1973 -75 reaching a decrease of 2%.
to see such low levels you must go back to the three recessions following the second world war, which reached a negative rate of about 3%, but whereas that the forecasts are for a further deterioration in this recession would also overcome gravity.
In the second graph are represented by the occupation of the levels reached in the months following the start of the recession.
we can see that the current recession is, in this respect, the most serious post-war, having seen, from its inception, the largest percentage loss of jobs.
