Employment

Here is a repeat of one of the graphs this morning:

This graph shows the job losses from the start of the employment recession, in percentage terms (as opposed to the number of jobs lost).

The current recession is now the 2nd worst recession since WWII in percentage terms - and also in terms of the unemployment rate (only early '80s recession was worse).

And a few posts:
Employment Report: 467K Jobs Lost, 9.5% Unemployment Rate

Unemployment: Stress Test Scenarios, Diffusion Index, Weekly Claims

Employment-Population Ratio, Part Time Workers, Hours Worked

From Paul Krugman on wages: Smells like deflation

The FDIC reports seven bank failures (a weekly high for this cycle).

Personal Bankruptcy Filings increase 40% in June (YoY)

Hotel RevPAR off 17.4%

Naught for the Naughts? Just an observation ...

On the '00s (the "Naughts") ...

Employment Dec 1999: 130.53 million
Employment Jun 2009: 131.69 million

A gain of just 1.16 million. What are the odds that the economy loses another 1.16 million jobs over the next 6 months? Pretty high. That would mean no net jobs added to the economy for the naughts: Naught for the Naughts!
