I told myself when I began this blog to try my hardest to keep this apolitical. I hoped (and still hope) to mainly cover advice for job searchers, free resources for performing the necessary research, and occasionally provocative questions to spur discussion. I provide the following graphic to hopefully spur discussion about the 'recovery' and not to begin a political debate (for those interested in the OpEd piece that published the picture you can read
Mr. Krugman's piece in the NYT.)
So for a three year period (2008 - 2010) things were bad! And there is still a long way to get back to where the country was before the downturn. But things have begun to turn around. What steps would best help the country continue to grow? I would love to say comprehensive tax reform and continued support of our social safety net would be possible, but I won't hold my breath.
