I recall watching job 'growth' from at least 2003 forward and feeling ill as month after month after month
the US created less jobs than needed to keep up with new workers coming into the work force. But
I can't find any statistics or graphs, except one from Rutgers which shows a net job loss for the entire
decade of the 2000s.
Does anyone in this forum have such information that covers all or any part of what I am looking for?
Thanks.
