This is hardly an independant group, study, or report. This is a first person rant. The group is a liberal economic think tank: http://www.mbginfosvcs.com/

The claim that 57,000 net new jobs have been produced in the last 12 months belies the bias of this apocalyptic creed.

During the past 12 months, the second year of economic recovery, the U.S. economy eked out 57,000 net new jobs in nontradable low-pay services, leaving the economy millions of jobs short of normal performance.

"This is not a picture of an economy that is doing well. Low income jobs in nontradable services are the only sources of employment, while high value-added jobs that pay good incomes continue to disappear."

You can find this exact same quote from the 80s being used against Reagan.

That's ironic because Paul Craig Roberts was on Reagan's economic team and was one of the founders of supply side economics.

When he says stuff like this, it's a bit frightening.
