Welcome back, everybody. As you know, weve been in the gilded age for some time now and weve already seen the Technological Innovations that made some of this economic expansion possible. We saw both the economic transformations and the affects of those changes in the economy as far as lifestyles, both of the very rich, these opulent, robert barren lifestyles and on the other hand the very poor. Whether it was the People Living in the shacks of the new england mill towns or whether it was when we explored the gilded age city, the increasing problems of housing and of sanitation that came with this rapid and in many ways chaotic growth of the cities in the late 19th century. All of it, of course, accompanied by problems going along with immigration. And then last time we saw in particular there was some frustration with this new gilded age regime as we talked about the farmers in this period. That lecture really could have been called discontent in the gilded age part one. But today we

Reaffirmation on the American Labor economy in this hour, claims, and all of the various numbers that come out with it. Forget about the markets. Forget about the chancellor of the exchequer actually dealing with the United Kingdom labor market. It is a question of millions out of jobs. Jonathan permanent job losses as well, and permanent shifts in the economy.
