Is This a Job-Less Recovery or a Job-Loss Recovery?
Special Blog Posting
In a powerful editorial this week, Investor’s Business Daily talks about our current anemic recovery with high unemployment. They point out that today’s unemployment rate of 9.6% is actually higher that when the recession ended in June 2009, a date that the National Bureau of Economic Research just announced this week.

Why Is Unemployment So High This Labor Day?
Unemployment is in the news again.

His calculations indicate that unemployment might be under 7% right now if [...]
High Unemployment, Empty Storefronts, For Sale Signs – When Will We Recover?
Driving around town the signs are obvious. “For Sale” signs that sit for months on poorly kept lawns. Empty storefronts with empty parking lots that painfully remind us of a few years ago when times seemed better. Plus, we hear about high unemployment all the time – 9.5% nationally, 14.2% in Nevada, 13.2% in Michigan, and 12.3% in California [...]
