Interactive Graphic: Job Gains & Losses Since 2008
Here are some of Mish’s comments about the data:
- Since December 2007, the economy has lost 6,318,546 jobs
- In 2011, the big job gainer is not healthcare but “administration”
- Healthcare and Education are the two bright spots throughout the recession.
The 6.3 million jobs lost since the beginning of 2008 is deceptively low. The Economy should have been gaining 1.8 milling jobs a year, not losing jobs. In other words, the economy is down 10 to 12 million jobs from where it should be.
If you believe charts, the only thing that went down after presidant Obama’s policy’s started is government employment and health care employment.. Kind of makes you wonder why the republicans are painting him as a big government person.
