On year ago tomorrow, Barack Obama was sworn in as the 44th President of the United States.  Where exactly are we as a nation one year later?

The Associated Press has put together an interesting compilation of numbers to help answer that question.  Highlights of the AP piece, which is titled “A By-the-Numbers Look at Obama’s First Year,” include:

– 13 million—Number of people 16 and older unemployed as of January 2009.
– 14.7 million—Number of people 16 and older unemployed as of December 2009.
– 7.7 percent—Unemployment rate January 2009
– 10.0 percent—Unemployment rate December 2009
– $787 billion—Cost of economic stimulus approved by Congress.
– $10.6 trillion—Outstanding public debt Jan. 20, 2009
