Each circle represents a billionaire but when appropriate the company that they associated with is labeled. And of course United States leads the way with number of billionaires. I liked seeing the data presented on a map; having a geographic distribution shows off the number of non-US billionaires. It would have been nice to see their net worth included in the infographic.

From Shrinkage is Good

A breakdown of employment by different industries and along with unemployment statistics. Although some of the graphs are a little confusing, if you look at the last graph you can see the unemployment rate by sector, 2009 vs 2010. Red bars means the rate was going up blue bars the rate was going down.

From Booth’s Poverty Map found at Charles Booth’s Online Archives

This is just a snapshot of the full map. In particular I was interest in the legend which goes from Black: “Lowest class. Vicious, semi-criminal” all the way up to Yellow: “Upper-middle and Upper classes. Wealthy.”
