The Doomsday Naysayers aren't gonna like this....

When the economy is shedding millions of jobs regularly as well as providing little to no job growth, less than a hundred thousand current job openings are extremely overstated. Some even consider this sort of reckless optimism to be what's encouraging Americans to be less thrifty and responsible:

BTW, economics (even labor economics) just isn't the same thing as career development. Yes, I'm new here, yes, I've seen the description for the economics section, and yes, many forums have very weak economic emphasis in their "economics" sections, but this doesn't make it anymore pure.



I mean no offense, but why wouldn't this fit better in your Labor and Employment section?

When the economy is shedding millions of jobs regularly ...

What does that even mean? Daily? Weekly? Monthly?

From the threads that can be read in the labor and employment section, it looks like it'd be quarterly since there's more than 450k new unemployment applications being made every month.

If you'd like a detailed breakdown of job losses over the past year, here's a viable source:

450K new unemployment applications per month when 150K is the average job loss per month? Someone's not being honest.
