A "Jobless Recovery" is like a "Bloodless Transfusion" ... in any case , the patient dies .

An economy without job growth is still a stinking lousy rotten economy. The Dow 10,000 thing is all a useless spinning wheels if we still have an actual 15 percent unemployment rate.

The sad thing is that the regime in Washington hasn't a clue about what to do about it. We have gone from Bush recession to Obama depression.

The best thing to happen would be if the Congress simply adjourned and did nothing but shelve permanently their so-called health care "reform" and their cap and tax bill. With those two Swords of Damocles out of the way, employers would become more confident and actually start hiring.

Some recovery, 2 years out of work from my engineering position, meanwhile The Corp sent jobs overseas or brought in "smart" people on visas. Took a 75% pay cut and labor job while The Corp. got billions of "green jobs" tax money.
Other Americans I know in Tech & Engineering also had to take major cuts or are still looking. The only ones I know who've "recovered" are in Finance. Ironic, they get their 200K - 400K salaries back, we (the engineers and tech workers) get told we're not smart enough to have jobs in our fields. We get told that we should wield shovels and fork over more taxes. American jobs for Americans would be a welcome change, regardless of which administration is in power. Reign in the corp. abuses in the name of profit. Until that happens, we're condemned to this economic environment.

Hmm - let's try another post, why is it that whenever I make a post and it mentions v-i-s-a policy and jobs in this country, it never appears. It's like magic, poof, it's gone. Regardless of site, here, Fox, NYT, etc.

The economy is still in need of jobs, but there's only a handful available. The recovery plan is working out for some states, but for others like in the west, not so much. The cartoon shows a man sitting in the corner wishing for a job; when really he should be looking for one. Job's don't come to you, you have to go find and work hard for it. If you look back in past history, when Clinton was in office, that's when the money problem started.
