Here are a compilation of charts related to the Occupy movement, but they are more than that.
The link is from Business Insider.

They cover unemployment, CEO pay, underemployment, wages, earnings, income inequality... too many to save and post.

Classic, that link is an extremely well done presentation.
Almost mesmerizing to scroll from one chart to the next.
Hard to believe it wasn't part of something besides/before the OWS.

Now a question, will Merc resist joining the campers in the park ?

I'd like to live in a tent city...somewhere pretty. Tents as far as the eye can see. People helping people. Utopia. Kumbaya and all that. Oh hell, then I remember what happened in Guyana.

I'd like to live on the moon...

I'm still reviewing it. I had to go make more coffee. My brain is still trying to absorb it all. The way they all relate is amazing. I am trying to mentally look at several of them overlapped with the same timeframe.

Let's start with the obvious: Unemployment. Three years after the financial crisis, the unemployment rate is still at the highest level since the Great Depression (except for a brief blip in the early 1980s)
Quote:
Jobs are scarce, so many adults have given up looking for them. Thus, a sharp decline in the "participation ratio."

Quote:
And it's not like unemployment these days is a quick, painful jolt: A record percentage of unemployed people have been unemployed for longer than 6 months.
Quote:
And it's not just construction workers who can't find jobs. The median duration of all unemployment is also near an all-time high.
Quote:
That 9% rate, by the way, equates to 14 million Americans—people who want to work but can't find a job.
Quote:
And that's just people who meet the strict criteria for "unemployed." Include people working part-time who want to work full-time, plus some people who haven't looked for a job in a while, and unemployment's at 17%
Quote:
Put differently, this is the lowest percentage of Americans with jobs since the early 1980s (And the boom prior to that, by the way, was from women entering the workforce).
