The near collapse of the Greek economy before its bailout by the European Union was also blamed for delaying the US recovery.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbHe pointed to weak employment, with more than half of the unemployed having been out of work for more than six months. Average growth in private jobs of 100,000 a month this year was insufficient to cut the jobless rate materially, and it would probably take a significant amount of time to restore the 8.5m jobs lost in 2008 and 2009, Bernanke said in prepared remarks.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbHe told Senator Christopher Dodd, chair of the committee: Part of the reason I’m concerned by the situation is that this is the worst labour market since the Great Depression. People who are unemployed for a long period of time see their skills atrophy. They may become demoralised, and short term unemployment becomes long term unemployment. We need to be very concerned. The US housing market also remains weighed down by a lack of consumer confidence, he said.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n
