The New York Times has graphed out the jobless rate for men and women of different races to better understand how the recession has affected each group. If you ever need to emphasize the importance of a college-degree eduation to somebody, this graph is a good way to do it.

Portland, Oregon obviously wins the race here, but it looks like New York City slipped in at the end there with 0.7% of the population cycling to and from work. C’mon New York, let’s step up the game here and move higher up this list!
Oh, and yes, that bike there is from Republic Bike.

Ionz currently has this neat online poll where you tell the site what your online habits are and it constructs a little infographic out of it and then compares it to other people who have taken the same poll. Looks nice. Add yourself into the mix now. [via]

Online data and backup service Mozy created a tall graphic to show just how much data storage has changed over the last couple of years. They show the amount of music, books, movies, and photos the average person carries around with them these days and relates that to older media formats. Enlightening to say the least and a bit scary as to how much one actually loses if they get a computer lost or stolen.
The image above is only a small portion of the graphic, so go here to see the entire image in full.

Information Is Beautiful posted this rather confusing timeline of time travel in popular TV shows and movies. It was taken from the book The Visual Miscellaneum (Harper Collins) by David McCandless.
I find that this graphic is rather hard to read because of that stupid squiggly yellow year-line. This would have been much better if that line was just straight and everything else bounced around it. What the heck, right? That yellow squiggly line just screws everything over. This could have been so much more awesome. See the entire graphic here.

This infographic from a 2007 Time Magazine issue shows the spike in people per area that New York City handles during an average workday. It’s no secret that NYC is busier during the day than at night, but it’s always nice to see this fact shown as vertical graphs for a bigger effect.
Thanks Norman!
UPDATE: Steven over at Spatiality has graciously done the research and found out that the image above is part of a larger November 2007 Time Magazine interactive map showing various population rushes in America. The image was made by Joe Lertola. Also, I replaced the image above with a clearer version from Urban Omnibus.
