Nonsense. Should I post the graphs again? The graphs clearly demonstrate increased production without a corresponding increase in employment. This is the "jobless recovery" that many columnists lament. Some graphs again:

And recessions are generally times of low change, since it doesn't make sense to invest in labor-saving technology when labor is cheap.

Labor is more expensive than ever before. Another graph for you to ignore:

According to Keynesians (e.g. Krugman), recessions are caused by labor not becoming cheap in response to exogenous shocks (due to sticky nominal wages). Do you disagree with this theory?
