Not only were 02 prices inflated from the bubble and 9/11 paranoia (own a piece of american dirt before the terrorists take it all, never mind that if they could and did took it, and you owned it … you’d still be dirt less) … these were high paying and medium paying and low paying jobs in the us in 1997 that have probably disappeared forever into India and china via outsourcing by 2007. IMHO Our bottom is below 1997 prices. Remember in 97 we were furoiusly importing high wage jobs via H1 programs (200 K a year plus) which we now send out at an even furiouser pace.
Cool.
