This Map Reveals Just How Unequal The So-Called Recovery Is

67. you're the one who jumped on the title, and commented on it like you were refuting some claim

it made. If it was irrelevant, why did you mention it?

Net job creation isn't 11 million; there aren't 11 million NEW jobs. Depending on who you listen to, there have been about 4-5 million NEW jobs created during the 6 years of the Obama administration. The rest of Obama's 'job creation' just brought the country back to baseline. That means actual new job creation lags population growth -- by a significant distance.

Not to mention that the job creation of the 'recovery' has been concentrated in low-wage jobs.

Today, there are nearly two million fewer jobs in mid- and higher-wage industries than there were before the recession took hold, while there are 1.85 million more jobs in lower-wage industries.

Regardless of all the meaningless hot air you're expending, people over-55 are staying in the labor market longer than since the 90s at least; while younger people are *less* likely to have employment.
