Intersting chart from chartoftheday.com ... it shows the increase in nonfarm jobs by decade .... nonfarm payrolls being a good indicator of the health of the US economy

No wonder the US is stuffed and no doubt this will will (and already has) reflect in most US eqitiy prices

Stuff all new jobs created in the last 10 years .... and the population has risen by 10% in the same period

Wonder the 2010's will bring - probably negative if the depression continues in US

Some might say if output is the same productivity has risen, yeah right
