Let's start with the obvious: Unemployment. Three years after the financial crisis, the unemployment rate is still at the highest level since the Great Depression (except for a brief blip in the early 1980s)
Quote:
Jobs are scarce, so many adults have given up looking for them. Thus, a sharp decline in the "participation ratio."

Quote:
And it's not like unemployment these days is a quick, painful jolt: A record percentage of unemployed people have been unemployed for longer than 6 months.
Quote:
And it's not just construction workers who can't find jobs. The median duration of all unemployment is also near an all-time high.
Quote:
That 9% rate, by the way, equates to 14 million Americans—people who want to work but can't find a job.
Quote:
And that's just people who meet the strict criteria for "unemployed." Include people working part-time who want to work full-time, plus some people who haven't looked for a job in a while, and unemployment's at 17%
Quote:
Put differently, this is the lowest percentage of Americans with jobs since the early 1980s (And the boom prior to that, by the way, was from women entering the workforce).
