US "Mancession" Update

As everyone is likely aware the US Unemployment figures are monitored closely by financial markets - and recently they have flattened out and up-ticked a couple of times - and that had caused some concern. President Obama last week (Sept 7) announced another shot of stimulus ($50bn) to add to the trillions already committed.

Anyways in that spirit I felt it was time we updated the "Mancession" chart to see if he gals had caught-up with the men yet.
