jobs cut

Avoiding the r-word as in recession is not easy. Sadly, since 2007 we have lost millions of jobs and things keep getting worse. There is one sector in which we did gain jobs and that is health care. However, we lost jobs in construction, manufacturing, retail, finance, and mining. Worst hit was construction because banks are not loaning out as much money. How can we have a recovery? There is no work and fewer jobs every year. Jobless claims are rising.
