Is the economy better? I sure can't tell

I'm a college senior and in May I'll be looking for a job so I
can support myself. If we're coming out of a recession
and more jobs are being created (as the Republicans
keep telling us), why are all of my friends who graduated
last year still unemployed? -- Noah Eden
