Today's jobs report wasn't great, but not that bad. But the recovery since Feb 2020 (bold black) has been the slowest of all 15 recessions of last 100 years, except for the #GreatDepression (bold blue) and #GreatRecession (light pink).

The steady but slow recovery of the U.S. labor market from the Feb. 2020 #COVID #recession. Current labor market (bold black) is better at this point of the recovery than the Great Depression (bold blue) and the Great Recession (pink), but still behind the other 12 recoveries.

The Timber Moose Lodge is where I want to hold my next conference. Would be great for macro modeling of fiscal policy, open source policy modeling. @Baker_CPF @OpenRG @OSE_Lab @cgousu

Still pretty anemic U.S. jobs recovery (bold black line), still down 5% from Feb. 2020 peak, and still worse than 12 of the last 14 recessions (back to 1929) at this point in the recovery.

Amazing that U.S. stock prices in the current recession (bold black line, #DJIA) fell faster than any of the previous 14 recessions, incl. the Great Depression (bold blue line), and recovered faster than all but two (1945, 1953) of the last 14 recessions.

Today's U.S. employment report showing job growth of +379k jobs in Feb is best described as "not bad", taken literally. 12 months out from Feb 2020 empl peak, and jobs are still down 6.2%, on par with Great Depression (1929), 1937 and 1945 recessions.

I spend the first 3 min 45 sec of my @PSLmodels OG-USA demo video soapboxing the importance of policy models being #opensource, especially in the current U.S. environment of political polarization. Open source models are fundamentally apolitical.
