« Depressing Stockton! | Main | Steven Pinker on The Cognitive Niche » May 15, 2009 Stock Returns and EmploymentFrom 1947 through 2007, the nations’ unemployment rate was under 6% about two-thirds of the time, and over 6% the other one-third of the time. For the time the rate was under 6%, the stock showed an annualized real return of 3.7%. When the rate was over 6%, the real return jumped to 17.3%. The moral of the story is one I’m sure you already knew: Rotten times are great times to invest. Posted by edelfenbein at May 15, 2009 1:32 PM |
