  1. Nice graph. I don't think I've ever seen a graph of just Darke County like that.

  2. The largest decrease in employment by the graph occurred from October, 2008 to February, 2009. That would seem to be correct.

  5. Probably not as quick as people would like. But there is no question about who was in the White House when the huge unemployment occurred,
