“Economic Recovery” for the U.S. Middle Class: Significantly Less Purchasing Power than Before the 2008 Financial Crisis | Global Research
At
 the moment, we still have 1.4 million fewer full-time jobs than we did 
in 2008 even though more than 100,000 people are added to the U.S. 
population each month. And a lot of the workers that have lost jobs 
since the start of the last recession have never been able to find a new
 one.
 According to a brand new survey conducted by Rutgers 
University, more than 20 percent of all workers that have been laid off 
in the past five years still have not found a new job.
