You give only half the picture which makes all your conclusions on which it is based false.
Your graph is meaningless without taking into consideration job growth which has averaged 2 million created per year for the 40 years prior to 2008.
A job creation of 113,000/mon for a year would be 32% LESS jobs created than the historical average. That looms huge and an average unemployment claim number in the context of this employment figure bodes definitively ominous.
I’ve mentioned numerous times (even multiple times in this thread) that the recovery is weak by historical standards. Doesn’t make the data false.
