[quote=DomoArigato][quote=SD Realtor]Not enough of us oldtimers on this site who experienced what life was like is the lat 70s and early 80s.
It pretty much sucked.[/quote]
Yes, life is so much better today with core inflation below 3% and U6 at 16%. Yesterday’s problems are not necessarily today’s problems.[/quote]
I could be wrong – but I remember fairly high unemployment in the late 70’s and early 80’s. I wasn’t in the job market in the 70’s (I was in high school), but I remember friends having parents lose their jobs. The early 80’s (82ish) were terrible for kids getting out of college. Over 10% unemployment.
