Boner is always full of shit. However, I remain unconvinced that the economy is actually recovering until we see a majority of good QUALITY jobs rather than just mere quantity. Raw numbers don't tell the whole story. The most recent report, I believe, showed that the trend was continuing of the majority of jobs being picked up in the hourly service sector like retail and food. These aren't exactly Goldman Sachs jobs we're talking here. Probably not even Saks Fifth Avenue.
Sadly, I think this is the new normal. We have too many people and not enough good jobs to feed them all.
But of course, it's "our fault for being lazy."
