I’ve been waiting to make this thread for quite some time. In fact I assumed that it would have come last year given how 2014 went, but here we are in January 2016 and the unemployment rate has finally dipped into the 4% range. We still need to see some things turn around, payroll increases is a big thing that needs to start increasing, and while we have seen increases more manufacturing jobs is always important, but all in all things are looking up economically for far more people. How are you guys doing? Are you out of college and with a job yet (if you’re in high school/college that’s cool of course)? Personally I’m doing okay as I’ve got a job that pays more than the entry level for my work, but I’m working on further improving my situation with more school (which I’m doing better in than I ever have) and hard work at my job.
Oh, in before someone crying about the U6 numbers which have fallen further than the official U3 numbers throughout the recession.
