Figures released today show the number of people claiming job-seeker's allowance in Wales has gone above 100,000.
During 2008, the number of new claimants rose by 28%.
It means 7% of the working population of Wales are now signing on.
It's worth bearing in mind that these figures have a lag to them, as they only go up to the end of 2008, and they only take account unemployed people who are actually claiming job-seekers, so the actual figure is likely to be significantly higher.
Worth remembering the figures are being tracked on my job loss map.
