The Economics ChatterMeter

I could play with this for hours: Aaron Schiff has developed the Economics ChatterMeter, to see how much chatter there is in the blogosphere about matters economic.

"Recession" and "unemployment" are way down from their summer highs, which is probably a good thing.

Here are snapshot results for "cartel", "GDP", and "wages":
