This graph sums up the economic recovery:



The jobless claims last week were the lowest since the recession started. This is a huge development and it's interesting to track the entire recession.

ou know, with all the bitter arguments people have had during this recovery, it's interesting to remember that the consensus back when this started was that it would be far worse than past recessions where the word "jobless recovery" had already been bandied about. I don't know if we're on schedule with those predictions, but the general trend seems to match the predictions. That said, great numbers - it's nice to be able to fret less about this - it's been a long time coming.

We're definitely improving, slowly but surely.
