Bernard points out that this trend reflects “a broader trend that has emerged over the past two years — the labour market’s deterioration has been relatively slow,” noting that “the unemployment rate isn’t especially high compared to previous recessions.”
However, he adds that this decline is unlike previous economic downturns. “Joblessness spiked considerably higher during both the 1981 and 2008 downturns,” he writes, but today, “we’re still waiting for a turning point.”
