When those numbers, depending on what factors you include and/or exclude, and seem to say different things, they are always misleading.

Leaving out the long-term unemployed is one way that happens.

I'm sure there are places that ARE doing better, although it's not that way everywhere.

Those numbers also don't include, as far as I know, how many people while, employed, are making less money than they were before the crash. I'm one of those.
