A Jobless recovery is like a foodless meal.......
I heard someone say that on the t.v. today and
it is a perfect metaphor. If I sit down to a
meal and have no food is it a meal? If businesses
are doing well but 10% of the people are without
a job is the country recovering financially?

1. Better analogy... A JobLoss recovery is like a foodLoss meal
when someone keeps taking the food from the refrigerator so you can't even make the meal in the first place.
