25. As long as UE stays low, the line will continue to move upwards.

Oct 2015

The point I've made is a rather simple fact of economics.

The other thing to recognize ... with low UE, employers have to lure good employees away from other jobs. That process takes more time than the reverse, in which people who have been out of work JUMP at a low paying job just to get in the door.

For a number of years now, folks in the RW have pointed at that same trend line to claim the Obama economy is the problem. And I would explain that we would NOT see wages rise until UE fell to about 5%, and stayed there.

And that's exactly what has happened, and will continue to happen. Well, unless we let the GOP take control. They'll work to screw the economy up yet again.
