dana peterson joined us on fed day. we talk the conference board, going back before world war i. the conference board was definitive in corporate america addressed in the labor unrest of this nation across 100 years plus. dana peterson is their chief economist. you just did a definitive study of the great divide america that only the conference board can do. that is, i have a job, things are great. i am out of a job, things are bad. has that divide been ever greater? dana: i am sure there are times it have been greater but we have talking about the k-shaped economy where you had people that never lost their jobs, they receive stimulus checks and were able to pay down debt and spend on goods. meanwhile you had many people who did lose jobs and they were on unemployment. certainly we still have 8.5 billion people still unemployed in america. tom: if we do eight and a half months of one million jobs formation and we get back to that point, then we have to grow from there. do you see an economy that can grow jobs once we ge
