abaldwin360: There were fewer jobs and they paid less last year, except at the very top where, the number of people making more than $1 million increased by 20 percent over 2009. [First look at US pay data, it’s awful]

The 2001 recession, which was very mild, took much longer to reach maximum job loss and full job recovery than previous recessions. The 2007 recession was much more severe than all others in terms of job loss and took the same number of months, 25, to reach maximum job loss. Questions: Will post-2000 recessions take longer to reach maximum job loss and full recovery? How long will it take for the 2007 recession to gain back the jobs lost (about 7 million at this point)?
