the new people and the people that actually lost their jobs, not looking at the margely attached workers -- marginally attached works. as you can see, we're still well below that line. we have to grow at 240,000 jobs a month in order to get back in five years and we're not anywhere near that. the first half of this year when we were seeing positive job growth it only average 95,000 a month. every month that you go 95 throo when you're supposed to go 240 means you to make up that shortfall and grow everyone faster in the out years. it is imperative that we get this economy growing more quickly rather than let it work on its own down the road. when we look at what happened in wages and salaries and the like, because of the slack, they have suffered as well. by any measure of wage, when you look at the real average hourly earnings, they jumped up because of a big decline in inflation. the nominal wage really wasn't rising. when you look at real employees total compensation and pay per worker, these are broader concepts than earnings. they are virtually flat. that's not what you'll want to s

marge, a democrat in riverside, california. good morning. caller: i would like to know -- what is the percentage of black kids versus white kids in the foster system? i work with foster care kids every day and i need to know this for myself. guest: thank you for that question. i do not have the exact number in front of me, but i can tell you that it is part of the changing narrative. 1998, that was 240,000 black children in child protective services. 2009 there were 127,000 african- american kids. the story of this proportionality is not the same story that we have now. in terms of the exact numbers of white kids, overall what is very encouraging is the market decline in the numbers of african-american children entering the system these days. host: this is from the associated press.
