<The average duration of unemployment rose to 31.2 weeks in March, while the broadest unemployment gauge, including those working part-time for economic reasons, rose to 16.9%. In addition, wages remain under pressure. The average hourly earnings of all workers fell two cents to $22.47 in March, the biggest drop so far in the series' four-year history.>

But - but - but - the media were all chirping about springtime in the employment report. Unemployment extending longer, full-time employed still dropping, wages dropping - oh I guess we're all going to transition to part-time leisure lifestyles. <S>

Sounds terribly inflationary to me. Also sounds like it should be helpful in keeping debt service flowing.

Oh wait - I got that backwards, didn't I? It's DEflationary, and makes it HARDER to pay the bills.

What I want to know is: when does our top 1% overseeing the demise of our economy on Wall Street get to join the party? Actually, I don't even need to know *when* - I just need to know *how I can tell* when it is happening.
