I don't want to enter into any political debate here,
but what is going on with jobs in US - already?
Not many (*enough*) new jobs are created, but there is
no rise of unemployment either!
How this can be?
Unemployment is calculated with the special pools,
asking people if they have a job, or if they want one.
More and more people don't want one, because they have
other kinds of incomes, or their wives are rich, etc.
This is not the only process, but a good one. "Soft
take off" of this kind is not that bad, is it?
