Where Are We In The Recovery?

We found a chart that you might be interested in on a site called Calculated Risk that charts the percentage of job losses for previous and current recessions.  It is set up to align at the point of maximum job losses during each recession and it shows that we are on the upswing if you consider the census bureau hires, but are looking at a dip if you discount them.  This chart is interesting in that it shows that we are in a very slow recovery.  This will impact those individuals in the construction industry who are patiently or maybe not so patiently waiting for the construction industry to recover so that they can go back to work.

We intend to track other economic charts for you so that you will be informed.
