10/08/03: Pandemonium almost broke out with last week’s reported expansion of the nation’s payrolls by 57,000 jobs. This is welcome news. However, if you scratch a little below the surface, there are strong fundamental problems that still need to be addressed. Last week’s news pales in comparison to the nation’s burden of long-term joblessness–described as being out of work for 27 weeks or longer. This now represents 2.1 million people–the highest rate since November 1983. It can’t be overstated enough by economists, business leaders and our government officials how important this issue has become. The next year will show an incredible increase in rhetoric from those running for office. Let’s hope there is some actual detail in what they have to say. Simply saying that the economy will “cycle” out of this downturn is no longer good enough.
