This chart was put together by ZeroHedge using BLS data. They have some interesting posts from to time but if you are not familiar with some of the more exotic investment and economic terms some of their writing might not make sense to you. This post however is right to the point. As you can see from the blue line, the trend looks like it will start to tick up again in the wrong direction.
