Very few people don’t know someone—a friend, relative, or former colleague—who has lost a job amid the recession: The economy has shed some 6.7 million jobs since December 2007, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), and some experts fret the U.S. could be in store for a “jobless recovery” in 2010.
