How serious a problem is unemployment today compared to the height of the recession in 2010? What do we mean by a decline in "good" jobs?
What will be an ideal response?
The ideal answer should include:
1. The unemployment rate is only 4.1 percent, down from 10 percent in 2010. The lowest rate is for Asians and whites; it is higher for blacks and Hispanics.
2. People are back to work, but not necessarily working at good jobs-jobs that provide retirement benefits, health care benefits, paid sick leave, paid holiday and vacations.
