@clawyer25 Yeah too bad it's a totally back-asswards forcast. You can't have a recovery without jobs.

As a US student, I feel extremely encouraged by Elmeskov's forecast of unemployment responding quickly to the recovery in the states... there's hope for me yet!

This is really interesting! The OECD should do more of these videos!

And I like how people walk and talk in the background. Gives it a cool atmosphere.
