40.2 Million Missing Jobs

It's official. I'm back from a 4th of July holiday trip. All went well! And what could possibly motivate me to resume blogging more than today's truly prosperous employment report!

Four-Letter Word

This euphemism came into use during the first half of the twentieth century.

The first half of the twenty-first century appears to be keeping the tradition alive and well.

Welcome back from your visit to Arrakis!

real personal income, per-adult

anyhoo, I found some more graphs to make on Fred (this could be a blog on its own), with the Fed balance sheet.

I found seeing the shape of intervention was quite interesting, something the MSM doesn't really feel like getting into for some reason.

So blue is the MBS buying and red is the outright Zimbabwe-style printing:

I added green to show incremental .gov spending (ARRA etc) and yellow is monthly job losses

above graph showing the 3 interventions as YOY, showing their "pulse" properties.

They really threw the kitchen sink at the economy in 2009, LOL.

When the firing pulse (yellow) came back in 2010 they went for more QE, $800B worth.

Throwing in the CMDEBT pulse (pink):

for completeness.

Does 1 person in 100,000 understand this graph, have it in their cognizance?

Troy,

Defibrillation

As devices that can quickly produce dramatic improvements in patient health, defibrillators are often depicted in movies, television, video games and other fictional media. Their function, however, is often exaggerated, with the defibrillator inducing a sudden, violent jerk or convulsion by the patient; in reality, although the muscles may contract, such dramatic patient presentation is rare.

I have no idea why I even bring it up! ;)
