Ok how many here that actually work are earning the same as they did in 2001?
So you're solution to the fact that the economy is growing is to change the definition of which statistics to follow? And is this change based on your political ideology or an actual attempt to determine market trends?
Simply put a growing economy means more jobs. The primary market that's taken a hit the last couple of years is the housing market and that's all about predatory lending and illegal immigrant labour.
