No dip in county index for 8th straight month

[an]

[quote=creechrr][quote=outtamojo]My point is, nobody lives in a chart
or on a graph. Let’s just go ahead and count and report things the way YOU want to count them – I am fine with that. A simple question:will that make more living breathing people not have jobs?[/quote]

Well, doesn’t job loss beget job loss?[/quote]
If it does, then wouldn’t we all be out of a job soon? On the flip side, doesn’t job gain beget job gain?

Arraya, if we count unemployment the way you want to, would that change the article’s title of “No dip in county index for 8th straight month”? Do you think that real unemployment have gotten worse over the last 8 month?

i feel spooked. not by this thread. it probably has nothing to do with reality either. i think tomorrow i sell everything and put it in a few different banks. i think one tremendous advantage of just being all cash, or having spent all your cash and having bought a house, is you no longer have to think about what to do. that would free up a lot of mental space.

Arraya is right on this one. Somehow, a siginifant percentage of our working population just stopped looking for jobs. People are suppose to come roaring back to looking for jobs in a recovery, not fading away in ever larger numbers. But maybe people have just taken a breather for the holidays, I wanna see January numbers before I start to judge our stats.

As for the original question at the bottom of the OP,
More non construction jobs and less homes built = What for the housing market?

No one really knows. Usually it is housing that has led us out of recessions (job wise) and yet this time housing is still the poster boy of the debt problem we are having. (most of those jobs are coming in lower paying tourism and service industries) My guess is this means a long slow crappy slog with many many false starts and alot of happy talk from the ‘experts’ most of whom never saw this coming in the first place; let alone a way out.
