Assessing the jobless recovery

Daniel Aaronson, Ellen Rissman and Daniel Sullivan

Economic Perspectives, 2004, vol. 28, issue Q II, 2-21

Abstract: This article reviews trends in employment growth during the recent recovery, including new evidence that much of the increase in self-employment since the beginning of the recession is likely a reflection of the weak labor market conditions of the last three years. The authors also offer thoughts on the strengths and weaknesses of several explanations for the disappointing employment growth of the last few years.
