Re: Physiognomy of Economic Depression - Eric Janszen

Yes, I actually have contemplated just quitting the faculty job and doing freelance grant writing, since I have a very good track record. I figure that I'd work less hours and that it would be more honest to be a "grant mercenary" that to continue pretending that I can be an educator in this environment. Of course, quitting a job (even if it is a crazy 60hr/week one) right now makes me a bit nervous, given the unemployment stats and all...

I am sure you are right about the abnormality of it. In May, the NIH put out a call for grant proposals related to the stimulus package. They had 800 proposals to fund, and they received 20,894 applications! It has gotten crazy, folks.

Yes, I worked on one of them - C20 I believe, the brick and mortar grant to be used as a statewide resource.

There's more money to be made in freelance work - but it's less stable. Although, if one assumes that there's at least one more stimulus coming, it may be smart...

possibly backwards

or possibly the big trend in participation rate has to do with women moving into the work force over the span of several decades

Bingo! You win the prize. All that chart shows( pre 1985) is women coming into the workforce. Its the part AFTER 2000 that worries me. Some of that could be early retiring baby boomers.

So we just need some good old child labor to make things right again. Solving a debt deflation is easy!

No, child labor would only increase unemployment. We need to eat the children and elderly who are stealing out jobs.

It does have a "familiar ring" to it. As far as we know EJ is not an avid equestrian however. So all is good.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. But it may be time to get mad.
