recovery. if you're at the top end of the food chain, the recovery is robust. in cities under water from the housing crisis and you don't have a college degree or working low paid service sector, you're not feeling it. >> this is the longest recovery in history. the most jobs consistently added in a recovery in history. at the same time, there are so many people who still feel like times are not good. things are not working out for them. i just wonder, if in a recession like we had, when something gets broken like the economy was broken, if it just won't feel the same again. >> this is something economists are really struggling with right now. the fact is that every recession and recovery since the early 1990s has been weaker and taken longer than the one previously.
