I share with you here some greats graphics published in WSJ on Sat, Feb
06.

TWO info to note:

1) The recession is OVER ! (But a second fall is still possible...)

2) With 8.4+ millions jobs lost, it's going to take 4+ years for the US
economy to be back to "normal".

Look at the specifics for your industry/profession al background and see
what the crystal ball says for YOU.

Pierre.

The stubbornly weak U.S. employment picture is ratcheting up pressure on
Washington to fix what ails the labor market, but policy makers and
economists are concluding there's no magic bullet to boost jobs.

Opinion is split over which, if any, of the policies in play offers the
best hope of spurring employment. Even those who advocate government
action say federal efforts can only reduce, not repair, the labor
market.

More than eight-million jobs have been lost during the recession, a
deficit compounded by the fact the economy needs to add more than one
million jobs annually simply to keep up with the growth of the labor
force.
Cumulative Job Losses
