20 unemployed vie for every one NYC position

The New York Post reports:

No recovery here.

While economists say the Great Recession has ended and numbers out of Washington say the economy is growing at a robust pace, the local jobs picture remains bleak -- with just 21,500 city jobs in the state Labor Department's Jobs Bank for the 425,000 unemployed to fight over.

That works out to 20 people vying for every position.

Great moments in Blue America.
