Wasn't there a big drop in Oct 2012?

Funny how that works.

Good afternoon.

Good post, but you didn’t answer your question. Allow me: “structural.”

Not so much the technology factor, but the 0bamacare factor. Gov regulations, and policy has made this “recovery” a jobless recovery.

There are many more reasons why the economy is stagnant, but I’m not getting paid for my advice...

I've never disagreed with this and have posted as such numerous times. The economy has been in recovery in spite of the headwinds created by this administration which is the most anti-growth environment in history.

I hope you know that I wasn’t criticizing you. You know your stuff, and I appreciate your opinions.
