 * Thank you. May I ask about details?
 * Your BLS link (http://www.bls.gov/cps/cpsaat01.htm) currently starts in 1945, not 1940. Is there another link that gives BLS data for 1940 or 1941 to 1944?  Or is your claim that BLS data started in 1940 a typo, and it should be 1945?
 * You credit both Coen and Romer for the 1930 number: I'm adding these numbers to the "USGDPpresidents" data set in the "Ecdat" package for R (programming language), and I'd like to give only one source for each year.  Which would you suggest I use?
 * Some of your links no longer work. It would be nice if they worked.
 * Thanks again for your work on this. DavidMCEddy (talk) 04:30, 9 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Response to DavidMCEddy,
 * The data included 1940-1945 when I accessed it, buy you are correct that the BLS has changed the page since then.
 * Unemployment data was originally only collected every 10 years and later every year. Coen estimated the missing yearly unemployment data. Later, Romer revised Coen's original estimation of the missing yearly unemployment data. Romer's analyses include more detailed analytics based on more comprehensive externalities that improve the estimation of the missing yearly unemployment data. I used Romer's numbers for 1890-1920 and Coen's numbers for 1920-1930 (see citation specifics above). So, I suggest you cite both individuals because I used both Romer and Coen's numbers. I do not know the "Ecdat" standards for citations. If you cannot include 2 citations, it might be acceptable practice to only cite Romer because Romer reports Coen's numbers in her own paper. I hope that helps.
 * I have updated the link. Thanks for helping catch that.

Mapping
I use GunnMap to create world maps. Aaaarg provides an excellent tutorial demo. --Peace01234 (talk) 22:41, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

Great Map!
Thanks very much for creating the map you added to Balance of payments. FeydHuxtable (talk) 16:39, 19 August 2010 (UTC)


 * You're very welcome FeydHuxtable. Balance of payments and fiscal imbalances influence economic policies worldwide; so, I hope this map helps inform people. --Peace01234 (talk) 22:58, 20 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Regarding this map, I want to add that my intention in adding this information to Wikipedia is not to accentuate the indebtedness of states in the OECD to private banks, nor to accentuate the relative difference in financial options and increased geopolitical power of China relative to states in the OECD. My intention is to reduce potential volatility and turbulence in the financial system by informing the general public of broad financial dynamics because these dynamics may adversely impact the welfare, security and stability-of-life for unrepresented and underrepresented populations as well as for everyone in society. I believe knowledge is power and broadly dispersed knowledge increases opportunities for peaceful incremental change as opposed to violent, volatile disruptions to the economic and geopolitical environment.


 * On a related issue, unfortunately, the publishing of this map and the dissemination of this particular knowledge related to debt may be used in the current, 2011, debate in the United States regarding debt reduction. Unfortunately, a singular focus on debt is being used to justify reduced funding for social welfare programs and reduced maintenance of aging infrastructure such as bridges and highways. And yet, this singular focus on debt is not similarly leading to calls for reduced military spending which comprises a relatively larger portion of the United States' discretionary budget than do social welfare programs. Personally, I regret the possible use of this map to undermine small budget items that benefit many people while ignoring large ticket items that benefit mainly the military sector of the economy. More jobs and long term benefits are created through these smaller programs than are created through spending on military items that are either destroyed, become obsolete or are decommissioned after a few decades of non-use. Focusing on national infrastructure instead of external military interventions guards states' interests and increases true indicators of GDP such as the Genuine progress indicator (GPI) and  Human development index (HDI). Long-term perspectives that build alliances instead of relying on the temporary use of force avert blowback and reprisals that often undermine states' interests, reputations, economies and general progress.


 * This map accentuates debt levels and thus a singular, fixated attention on debt reduction at this moment in history may be an unintended consequence of the publication of this map and dissemination of this information — even during a financial crisis when many pragmatic economists are calling for temporary Keynesian type outlays to boost the economy. I agree with most economists that now is a time to avert increased market volatility and a major disruption to the world economic system and I believe Keynesian type temporary outlays are the best option for now. We can focus on the debt when the United States and world economies have stabilized. I am a fiscal conservative who is concerned with the United States' debt, but I am a pragmatist who believes that market volatility and turbulence is extremely detrimental to most people.  I also am aware that during economic crises, individuals and institutions with excess wealth benefit the most and the resulting redistribution of wealth increases economic inequality while also increasing the monopolization of many private sector industries.  These characteristics — Unequal economic opportunity for entrepreneurs and for everyone; economic inequality generally; monopolization of industries; volatility of markets, interest rates, wages, and unemployment — are market characteristics that I believe hinder the progress of all of society. --Peace01234 (talk) 11:40, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
