GOOGLE graphs public data
If you’re interested in following the unemployment rate for a particular country, state, or the entire United States, then the search “unemployment rate” in Google yields a useful interactive graph. You can either click on the image or search “unemployment rate” in Google to view current and historical data on unemployment from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Furthermore, searching “population trends” yields public data from the U.S. Census Bureau.

Thank you for producing this site, it has helped me a lot!
Please use caution when utilizing these graphs. I hope that Google responsibly updates this data to reflect the seasonally-adjusted unemployment data. Seasonally-adjusted unemployment data (unlike the data represented here) is the basis of public policy and public discussions. This raw data representation is interesting, but will lead you to false conclusions when the unemployment rate shifts certain times, for instance, at the beginning or end of the summer.
Donald Marron has several entries in his blog on this unfortunate choice of the data set by Google: http://dmarron.com/2009/09/14/insight-on-google-and-unemployment/
Many thanks for the information and link Bill.
