Reply #6: Good point.

I speak math. The suggested trend is that jobs are being created consistently. Combine that with an eyeball estimate of the area under the curve. It appears that the jobs lost in 2008-2009 could be restored in about four years. So painful.....

It's otherwise seemed to me we will see nothing new for all of the presidential year that is 2012. The graph indicates there could be a 6 month delay until a shift in policy takes effect. So I guess without major policies being passed, things are going to just limp along until mid-2013 with things improving slowly through 2016.

I wonder what a Dem. congress with Obama as president could do.
