Control Panel: Happy days are here again! Right?

@Leap1 please don’t try to teach your grandmother to suck eggs.

I was working in industrial northern New Jersey during the recession of 1980-1982. It was a very deep recession where many industrial plants were closed forever and the workers summarily fired from the only jobs some of them had ever known. Whatever the charts say, this was not two shallow recessions but one very long, very deep recession with high unemployment for a long time afterward. The high-paying industrial jobs that were lost all over the U.S. have not returned to this day.
