Civilian Unemployment: Persistence

Today the Civilian Unemployment numbers were released and all they did was verify one thing- that recoveries in the United States since 1990 have been jobless ones.  Check out the following graph which takes every post WW2 recession and averages their numbers from peak to 27 months out. Notice that this one has the greatest persistence of all of them in terms of a high unemployment rate.



Additionally check out the next graph which just uses the recessions from 1990 and beyond. These are all the recessions that have been characterized by jobless recoveries. The thing to notice here is not the level of the unemployment rate, but that in these recoveries the unemployment rate also failed to drop significantly 27 months or so after the peak.  This recession has been deeper (a cyclical factor) which explains why unemployment is so freakin' high, but unemployment being persistent has nothing to do with cyclical factors- yet it seems more structural reforms may be necessary.  This isn't house lock people this is something more than that. This is the structure of unemployment benefits and the nature of profit seeking firms, that want to please shareholders.  Being lean and mean is attractive for companies that face constant uncertainty, especially when growth would be a miracle occurrence.



The last graph shows that while unemployment does still remain stubbornly high at least it is falling.  Although this may be because people are just plain dropping out of the labor force.  A closer look into the Employment Situation would be necessary to reveal the details.

  2. One very overlooked metric concerning employment is wages and salaries. Their is a declining amount of tax revenue coming for wages and salaries. But revenue form investment income and capital gains have been increasing.

  5. In today’s world, each day brings new inventions and advancements and it would be
    impossible to keep up with it all. Total egal was auch immer man sucht für alle Wünsche ist irgendwas mit dabei,
    komplett gleich ob man wilde Live Damen mit prallen Eutern bestaunen magst, rasierte oder natur behaarte <. For most women talking on a sex based phone line is like acting in a movie, but you can do this with curlers in your hair and your figure doesn’t matter.

  7. We agree that the Iolite Vaporizer looks cute and small, but is it as powerful as the internet makes us
    believe. Excess water runs off into a drain, eliminating the collection of mineralized water and associated deposits and also the risk
    of airborne bacteria. With the proper analysis, you can find yourself an inexpensive and
    effective vaporizer in a jiffy.

  8. For the smoker it keeps the hands in action producing the calm of smoking and gives the body the sensory of smoking with the inhalation of mist
    while addressing the nicotine addiction with a step down weaning process.
    Light weight and portability is its biggest advantage.

    of fabric at the start of the hole.

  9. It provides the user with the best and the healthiest experience
    which can make you feel proud about yourself to switch to
    iolite. It fits right in your palm just like your mobile phone.
    Another thing which customers must keep in mind while purchasing the vaporizers is that they must enquire the manufacturers about the designs and elements used in
    the vaporizers.

  18. Once people start catching on to the next level. This camera seems
    to be putting a full-court press on mobile lately. Men can still masturbate frequently monthly, weekly, daily, twice daily, etc, etc,
