I don't blog much about the data and stuff anymore, working on parking and transit issues takes up most of the blog time I have.
But I saw this and wanted to share. What a fantastic presentation of data.
Some really interesting things going on there, click on any profession and it will expand, you can type a search, breaks down by male/female, etc.
For example, type "fa" and look at what happened to farming. It used to take about 50% of the US workforce to grow crops, now it's down below 2%.
What's an "operative", by the way? There sure were a lot of them in the 1960s and 1970s.

Interesting. That looks like the exact same visualization style as in Baby Name Wizard's NameVoyager, but this is an OSS flash library, whereas I believe NameVoyager was something in Java.
And what the hell is a Charwoman?
