美国从2007年起就业的恢复速度比起20世纪80年代的经济衰退时期还要慢将近两倍，后者是近几十年来相当糟糕的时期，经济起步也更加困难。

严重的经济衰退通常会促成劳动力市场的复苏.在1981年到1982年经济衰退结束后的12个月中,美国就业率反弹了3.5%.同样,在1933年3月份,当大萧条结束,经济开始恢复增长时,也伴随着就业率强劲的的反弹.但是,今非昔比,此次经济衰退一直未见好转,美国目睹了这次惨烈的经济衰退以及之后伴随着就业颓势的复苏.

Employment sprang back by 3.5% in the 12 months following the end of the deep 1981-82 downturn. When the economy started growing again in March 1933 the employment bounceback was springier still.
