Last week we reported that the percentage of unemployed in the US is at its lowest point since the 2008 financial crisis. Now a new report from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), a group that promotes social well being for people around the world with 34 ember nations, says that unemployment is down substantially throughout the world to levels not seen since January 2009. The OECD said that unemployment for its member nations, mostly developing countries, has fallen to 7.1 percent. It seems like the global economy has successfully navigated itself out of the great recession.
