I like this one!

FREDBlog: The peculiar Swiss unemployment rate, 2 June 2014. I customized their graph to show recession bars:

Those recession bars are probably the NBER dates for U.S. recessions -- not really related to the Swiss economy. Which probably explains why FREDBlog had the recession bars turned off in the first place. Oh well.

The reason I like this post so much? Because it shows something "peculiar", unique, and interesting, as opposed to the tiresome political complaints you can find all over the web.

That's what graphs are for, you know? To see the interesting things.

It's a really big jump in unemployment, between 1990 and 1994. Remarkable.

Want to know something odd? The timing of that rise in Swiss unemployment corresponds precisely with a unique fall in the U.S. debt-per-dollar ratio.

Now that's odd.
