Graphic of the Day: The Scariest Jobs Chart Ever!…
This is what we’re dealing with.
Via Business Insider:
There are some weird things going on in this morning’s jobs report, but the headline number was a joke, and as such, the scariest jobs chart ever looks horrid.
As you can see, via Calculated Risk, the pace of the jobs recovery is not only not in line with past “recoveries” it’s not even at the pace it was a few months ago.

It looks like a diagram of the cardiovascular system. This helf care thingamajig has sho nuf gotten out of hand, y’all…
Bad news…the 2001 recovery was basically 47 months at a 2% unemployed rate. This recovery is going to take 3x as long according to historical data. Looks like it will take 12 years to recover IF someone wanted it to recover!! With this neo-marxist in charge that will not happen.
HOLD on folks the bumpy ride is going to be a VERY LONG ONE!
No drilling in Anwar. No off-shore drilling. No permits issued. No nuclear plants built in 20 years. Tax, tax, tax businesses! Carbon credits and taxes on coal production. Allowing CA farming to die due to a friggin’ fish! Allowing the EPA to pass their own sweaping regulations. This country is a mess and has no chance of recovery with the empty suits in the Senate and WH!
LOL!
My 18-month-old triplets drew something similar, that I now have hanging on my fridge.
Its that three letter word according to Plugs Biden: J-O-B-S. That’s probably how Dhim-ratz like Uncle Joey spell it in the parallel universe that they live in.
Evil=good. Good=evil. Truth=lie. Lie=Truth. Right=wrong Wrong=Right. Choice=state sanctioned baby murder etc.
comacho…..
Your 18-month-old triplets probably have a better understanding of economics than anyone in this Administration,too.

LOL, again! I am beginning to wonder!

A graph that makes Obama smile.
I don’t know how this seems funny to some people, maybe I haven’t a base of knowledge on current jokes shared among those unafraid of losing their jobs — oh to be rich! Perhaps wondering about the nation’s economic future isn’t high class enough for our friend; I envy you upon whom Fortune has smiled, but I must say that your brand of humor is awfully crass.
That being said, a slow recovery is better than no recovery. Although, to what we owe our tooth-and-nail fight back to normalcy is a topic of frequent speculation, and, most unfortunately, that speculation usually falls along ideological lines: we won’t hear very much resembling truth for a long time — the cause will be debatable even among historians. But, owing to the current stacks of debt in the economy and the decentralized nature of production, I can’t say that John Maynard Keynes is the man who is deserving of the totality of our thanking: really, though, who can blame people for misunderstanding/forgetting/ignoring that economic predictions and theorems are made ceteris paribus (holding all else constant) — this isn’t a failure of Keynes or economics, but more of a failure of understanding the two, in my opinion.

Just when you think the Obama bastards have hit rock bottom with positively spinning the negative jobs picture, they break out the jackhammers and dig deeper.
