It is not recovering. Where do you live?
I work with hundreds of employers and they are still in layoff mode and will not hire due to the DC/Obama crap.
Specific economic improvement indicators—please.
How is it recovering from the prospect of jobs, which is all the American people care about and rightly so.
If 175-250,000 jobs per month need to be created just to keep pace with new entry’s into the work force and we are creating about 85-110,000 per month, many of those part time and what I call “weak” jobs in low paying fields, where is the improvement?
My take is we are actually LOSING ground as the number of people who want to work and cannot is growing and not shrinking.
Mandate for Obamacare is coming in 2014. Everybody knows it and it will keep companies from creating positions.
Whatever “recovery” there is will be crushed. I’m not saying the economy won’t recover a bit before 2014, but it will hold back most of any recovery.
I don’t see that as true. What I see is that people are getting used to a life that sucks, and the younger ones and lazier ones see Obama as their ticket to free money without effort. And it’s not like there are any jobs out there to put the free market on display as the solution to their problems. If the economy is recovering, it is not remotely with any employment bounce that the average person can see.
