3 x 712,000 = 2,136,000
3 x 516,000 = 1,564,000
loses to 2010 - 1,200,000
total lost from Jan 2009 thru 2010 = 4,800,000
Monthly job losses averaged 712,000 from October
2008 through March 2009—the most severe 6-month
period of job losses since 1945, when WWII was ending.
During the final 3 months of the recession, April through
June 2009, job losses remained severe but moderated
somewhat to an average monthly employment decline of
516,000. Despite the official end of the recession, nonfarm employment declined by another 1.2 million until
reaching a trough in February 2010.
