No growth in jobs in private sector for a decade (government, economy)

[reverse]

For the first time since the Depression, the American economy has added virtually no jobs in the private sector over a 10-year period. The total number of jobs has grown a bit, but that is only because of government hiring.

I wonder how we'll fare in the coming years, how many jobs lost will actually be recovered or will we actually have an overall rate of job growth in the negatives.
