How many Jobs are in the new economy?

 Just how many jobs have we gained in this new economy? That is a good question. Well the people at market watch have an answer for all of that. These are the statistics from them. It does look like we are coming back up and the economy is improving so time will tell the rest I guess. I hope that we can continue on these trends. Don't forget to subscribe or follow us. Thanks.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — The United States has added an average of 200,000 jobs a month through the first half of 2013 and the pace of hiring probably didn’t slow very much in July, economists say.

The U.S. likely created a net 175,000 jobs last month and that could push the unemployment rate down to 7.5%, according to economists polled by MarketWatch. The July employment report will be issued Friday morning.

The odds of an even bigger increase seemed to grow Wednesday after payroll processor ADP reported a better-than-expected 200,000 gain in private-sector jobs.

In the bigger picture, the U.S. has now regained more than four-fifths of the 8.8 million jobs lost in the private sector during the last recession.

The bad news is the private sector won’t match its all-time employment high until early 2014 at the current pace of hiring — nearly five years after the recovery began. And the economy is still missing millions of jobs that would have been created if the U.S. had experienced a more normal rebound.
