The 2009 recession left America with over $16 trillion USD in debt and hundreds of thousands jobless; however, this latest development in the unemployment rate shows a promising 7.6% ratio or the equivalent of more than 175,000 jobs all over the United States. It's interesting to know that the wheels are moving as just 2 years ago experts predicted that it will be a slow growth and that it could take decades before the US gains a foothold back in the global financial market. From 2010 - 2020 will cover the first decade of the projected growth of the US economy and hopefully the ratings will go back to 9% or higher as it did before during the 1990s and early 2000s. But we may have to wait 3-5 more years before seeing those stats reach that high once more.
