However long it takes for crude goods to be come intermediate goods, then intermediate goods to become finished goods, and then finished goods to get put on the shelves.

Either that or “margin compression” drives the profits of the producers of those goods to zero.

Just as soon as there is a Republican President. At that time real unemployement numbers will also make a comeback.
