In These 13 States, Employment Has Still Not Recovered From The Recession
As regular readers are no doubt aware, we have cast an incredulous eye towards the supposedly "robust" US labor market.
In addition to lackluster wage growth for 83% of America's workforce, we've also highlighted the tumbling labor force participation rate, on the way to contrasting the record number of people not in the labor force with an official unemployment figure that would seem to indicate almost no slack in the market.
To explain this apparent paradox, we documented the story of America's vanishing worker, noting that the reason America's labor metrics have devolved to such a Schrodingerian state in which the US labor market is both alive and dead, depending on whose propaganda one observes, is that many (former) employees have been forced to move away, retire or give up on finding a job. As a result, the unemployment rate has fallen even as the jobless are no closer to being able to provide for their families.
Whatever one wishes to believe about the veracity of BLS statistics, one thing is certain: For some US states, the ill effects of the crisis on employment still linger some seven years later.
As the following map shows, 13 states are still struggling to regain pre-crisis employment levels:

I counted 14?
Yep, same.
Am I retarded or is this pointless? It doesn't account for what the employment level was before the crisis. Some states lost more jobs than others, and therefore had less to "regain."

The article should point out which states because the percentage information is so small.
How do I stop these f**king streaming ads on ZH on firefox. I tried Ad Blocker. I have tried flash Blocker. I am sick of these stupid top 10 shit and the streaming ads on the right with some fashion show in Paris.
You must have done something wrong. I run Flashblock and Adblock Plus on Firefox.
Just a plain, white background with article text on it. I never see an ad.
That was too easy. Thanks!

Thanks to everyone who responded. :-)
Thanks for your help.
disable adobe flash. works like a charm.
Sweet! Page runs faster too. Thanks!
Freddie,
Try Ghostery if using Firefox. Deny permission to anything you don't want to see.
*Ghostery works for me.
Thanks gents and also possibly any ladies. The crap stopped streaming. Some Paris fashion show and other ads with all high toned Obola types and other BS.
Love ZH - hate streaming shit.
Looks like Weed, Mormons, and mid-western Freedom to me.
Don't believe these fake low numbers. It is far worse.
I am in a perpetually low unemployment state and things are bad out there. Lots of business closures. Wages are dropping, which may slow down the rush from a more populus neighboring state with very low wages. Lots of young people living off of parents. Mostly low wage and part time service jobs. Hispanic population is increasing rapidly in spite of a poor job market.
Some industries are hardly affected and others are profoundly affected.
Around me if you're not in government you are absolutely forked.
But then I guess that's pretty much anywhere.
Exactly. And what's the point of analysis like this, when the underlying numbers are fake to begin with?
The Ministry of Plenty rations and controls food, goods, and domestic production; every fiscal quarter, the Miniplenty publishes false claims of having raised the standard of living, when it has, in fact, reduced rations, availability, and production.
Ahhh... Alabamastan. It only took me a summer semester to figure out that I needed to live elsewhere (Charleston, SC). Fairhope is sweet, though...
All you have to do is move to Holland and hate Americans and you're income will triple
Just ask the Dooshboy2015.
... and you are income will --
what??
They're just "not ambitious enough."

+1 Mr. Ma is exactly right. That's why we need to flood the country with H1B visa holders to replace those lazy ass American STEM grads who coasted through all of those inexpensive, CAKE math & science courses just to get their degrees. Of course, now, they're too goddamned lazy to get off of the couch and work! #CurryForJobsAmericansJustWon'tDo
I don't buy anything with a jew rat face bitch in the ad? So the economy can't grow. They're uglying up the galaxy. You can't get through a day without see hundreds of there one size fits all mugs. Sometimes I have to puke I must admit but it's really not my fault there faces all look like donkey dicks with psycho eyes looking this way and that.
We, the American people must take back our prosperity from those that stole it: Zion, their grifting banksters, and their violence-puppets, government.
They are not going to willingly give it back.
Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission..
