100%, employers have squeezed the last drop of productivity out of the workforce there was to be had... pretty much anything else has to come from added jobs, and i don't see any of them
If the economy improved 5% wouldn’t there be a corollary in reduced unemployment, an increase in the percentage of workforce participants and and one hell of a pay raise across the board?
No?
Then these numbers aren’t fictitious?
Oh silly you. Using economic logic to present your case.

Look I have lived through enough of these to know what a real recovery looks like. In a real recovery you see lower unemployment, of course. You see a raise in real wages. You see more start ups as entreprenuers seek to capitalize on the economic expansion. You see less people on welfare (like food stamps). You see a boom in commercial construction. You see construction cranes. You see shorter skirts. Does anyone see these things? Because I sure as hell don’t.

they also hype the DOW as a good sign, even though we all know it is the result of the cheaper dollar.
