Job Losses Since WWII Are HUGE!
   February 6, 2010 4:59pm


The number of job losses in the current recession are huge. The labor department is expected to release figures showing that the number jobs lost during the recession are now over eight million.

Here's an interesting chart that I found showing the various recessions since World War II.

 

Many analysts feel the economy might generate one to two million jobs this year. But they feel it will take at least three to four years for the job market to turn around to some sort of normalcy. That means they're suggesting it will be 2014 before there is any significant job growth.
