n. A form of economic growth in which the total number of jobs in the economy decreases.

Like "jobless recovery," I see very little evidence that this oxymoron is being used ironically, like it should be.

Also, I can't read about the 7.2% growth without blowing a gasket. Okay, people are buying a lot of stuff. That's because Americans are famous for spending money we don't have on stuff we can't need and can't afford. The GDP is so bogus as an overall economic indicator.

In fact, I'm too angry to write any more, and anyway, I have a menial service-industry job to go to. Job-loss recovery, my ass.
