The Worst Unemployment News Yet

Via Ezra Klein, Brookings has some scary projections on job creation and the unemployment rate.

...adding new jobs at a rate of 200,000 a month would take us 150 months -- or 12.5 years -- to get back to normalcy. So far, only April has seen more than 200,000 in non-census jobs growth -- and even then, just barely.

I have no idea what's required to reach 200,000 new jobs a month -- short of another major stimulus package.
