Google tricks: Unemployment rate, calculator, conversions,..

I have plugged Google's Uncle Sam feature in the past for researching government information, but there are some other Google features that are really neat. @thenweagree alerted me to the fact that you can type unemployment rate and a county name in the Google search box to get charted data on the unemployment rate of your county.













Also, I commonly use the Google search box as a calculator. You can simply type the math problem into the search box to get an answer.









Google can also be used for conversions. If you are traveling to the United Kingdom, you may want to know the conversion rate from U.S. Dollars to Pounds.








I buy my hot sauce in bulk. I love spicy food. So, when my recipe called for one 2 oz. bottle of hot sauce, I wasn't sure about how much that would be in terms of my measuring cups.
