More Bad News…..For America
Is This The Best That The United States Can Do?
The world’s largest economy has added an average of just 153,000 jobs
a month in each of the past two years. And U.S. growth has jogged
along at a lackluster 2% pace since the end of the Great Recession.
For most of the post-War era, the economy sprang back to life faster
and stronger after a recession. After the 1981-82 downturn, for
example, the economy added more jobs in the next two years than at any
time in the modern era. Monthly job growth topped 400,000 four times.
Those days seem long gone.
