This is a deeper recession then the one early in this decade, so probably not, absent extraordinary disasters (on a scale that Katrina doesn't qualify), a major war (Iraq doesn't qualify), or a strong increase government policies that get in the way of growth (which is probably the most likely risk), then its very likely that average folks will be better off at the trough of the next recession then in 2001, and average folks now are better off then at the trough of the last similarly deep recession (early 80s).

Measuring from the trough of the last recession, at least means the starting point isn't cherry picked to make things look worse, but it makes the time frame even shorter. Shorter term economic swings dominate at this time frame, not real trends.
