Fun Fed Charts!

Today's exciting economic charts are brought to you today by the US Federal Reserve!

Your thought of the day:

"How much lost economic production have we have lost because 10% of the labor force is unemployed

AND

not just unemployed, but unemployed for a longer period of time than ever recorded

AND

also considering the labor force participation rate is going down?"




Enjoy the decline!
