You only need to look around you to know that the "recovery" is just not happening. Everyone who cares to think will see that the twisting of statistics concerning employment issues alone should show you that the current administration spends more time and effort trying to blur the truth than trying to put policies in place that would make matters better.

Hi there! Thank you for sharing this. The economy of our country is still doing it's best to recover. I hope that our government will be able to do something to help our people to get more jobs in the market.

I hope that our government will be able to do something to help our people to get more jobs in the market. Hello Helga, welcome to the board. This is a very old argument often revisited on this site. Clearly a new approach is needed. Take the money and resources which are centralized in our government, return it to the people and unleash their industrial and innovative spirit that will make our country an economic powerhouse. We have borrowed and spent Trillions of dollars over the last 8 years with little to no economic progress. Washington is addicted to spending and segments of the populace have at last figured out how to vote themselves freebies from the treasury. The government spending spree won't solve anything and if we keep this up, China may demand Taiwan, Guam and half of Alaska to settle our indebtedness to them. |

I forgot to add that this is the first time in memory where a so called recovery was in progress where median household income has gone down. |

I hope that our government will be able to do something to help our people to get more jobs in the market. Jobs that pay better is a start. I have many friends (yes, empirical evidence) that lost jobs 4-6ish years ago and can't find anything comparable pay-wise even close to what they had. I don't know how the government can help that to be frank, I think it was a correction. |

There is some good news. In a number of cases, companies have decided that building here is at least as advantageous as building abroad and then paying the cost of shipping goods to the U.S. Saw a couple of articles in print magazines just recently that discussed this trend. On the other hand, it's doubtful if we will ever again have all the heavy industry whose absence has killed the Rust Belt cities.
We have to be smarter. And our people have to work hard to get a good, relevant education and stay out of trouble. Too many are simply not getting the start that we used to get from growing up in stable families. Anybody who grew up in the late 1940s and the 1950s as I did will probably agree. It's a complicated issue, but I'm sure we can do better.

AzWm If you don't think there is a recovery, just look around. The building industry is going gangbusters. Cranes all over downtown and massive apartment complexes going up. The building industry is a bell-weather for the economy. |

Building is booming, but that is about all. What will happen to building when interest rates start to really climb again? |
