Counting the people who have given up looking for work and the part-time workers who would rather be working full time, the so-called underemployment rate edged up to 17.3 percent in December.
The number of unemployed has hit 15.3 million, up from 7.7 million when the recession started in late 2007. The recession has wiped out 7.2 million jobs. And the number of people jobless for at least six months hit a record 6.1 million.

lol makes me think of my uni days (engineer) I used to sit in finance lectures thinking, what going on? this can't work? it just seems like the entire economy is rigged? I used to say to myself. It never made sense to me. I was predicting the housing crash for years round here and couldn't understand why prices just kept going up and up. Now It all makes sense, It is rigged lol. It's like that poker site where the owners were just sat there playing the high stakes tables knowing what cards everyone else was holding.
Everything is simple when you can think from outside the box.

Hi, it as my belief as put forward in the following video that the economic crash will happen next time the oil price spikes.
The basic idea is that as global demand for oil becomes higher than oil production (we have passed peak oil production), the price goes through the roof, the weaker developing economies cannot afford the oil so there is a local economic crash and the demand for oil suddenly drops. The oil price goes down and the rest of the world economy slowly recovers and starts using more oil until it again reaches the point where demand out weighs supply and prices spike again causing another crash in the places that cannot afford the oil. Thats why the oil price chart is 'bumpy'. The idea is though that next time it spikes the whole world will crash.

A simple projection of the following oil price graph suggests the economy will crash in 6 - 10 months.
