Fact #4

Most of the improvement seen in this recovery consists of a decline in layoffs, not an increase in hiring.

-         “Layoffs spiked dramatically during the recession, but have substantially slowed during the recovery. At this point workers are no more likely to get laid off than they were before the recession started…We have seen very little improvement in hiring, which is still roughly 25% below its 2007 average.”
