The latest unemployment report released this month revealed rare "good news" about the U.S. labor market. The 6.1 percent unemployment rate marked an all-time low since the 2008 recession.

Although June’s report indicates an encouraging sign for the job market, that hasn't always been the case under President Obama. A series of interactive maps—from Jimmy Carter's presidency through Obama's—illustrate the ever-changing unemployment rates under the past six presidents.
