Ah! The Great Recession, not the Great Depression. So ABC is saying this is the healthiest job environment in a couple years. I’m sure we’ll see the numbers revised downward next month, but I still stand by my other statement that the media will do everything possible to frame the news in the best possible light. They have a president to reelect.

If you want negative news next year, you’ll have to look for articles on the Republican candidates. Their tiniest flaws will be covered in excruciating detail.

"...The job market is healthier than at any time since the end of the Great Recession..."

Could have fooled me. There are three of my family working at places where people are currently being laid off. And those are just the three who I have talked to.

They are looking more like Pravda each day. I expect to hear about five year plans next.

That’s a pretty scary graph. Weeks unemployed average is a rocket. Looks like it keeps going straight up, ‘cause the unemployed are not getting their jobs back!

And become discouraged, then drop out, then TSHTF
