The Unemployment Rate Is Improving Fast

This recovery is starting to show some muscle. At least on paper.

The unemployment rate is falling at an yearly pace last seen in 1997!

Of course, there is a base effect, given the fact that it reached 10% in 2009. But, still, the tendency looks promising.

I agree the recovery looks promising.

There is also a long term impact on the high unemployment rate, almost 20% of children in America are living in poverty.

The economy needs to have jobs growing at this rate for awhile for a recovery to be certain.

The rate of children living in poverty as well as its trend are indeed troublesome.
