The Long Road Back to Square One (Peak Employment)

If this "recovery" doesn't feel like much of a recovery, I agree with you.

Unemployment has been worse than recent recessions and it's taking much longer to get back to peak employment.


People are staying unemployed much longer. Does 99 weeks of unemployment benefits lead to shorter or longer unemployment duration? From personal experience, I maxed out my benefits before being truly motivated to suck-it-up and find any job that would help pay the bills.


College degrees seem to be strong unemployment insurance.


North Dakota looks like it's in good shape.
