Go to the link ZG ...
The first graph - These are current projections as a % of GDP.
The second graph is employment change from 2008. Based upon employment in 2008. Thats why its at 0.

I find those projections to be highly implausible.

Okay, thanks, that makes some sense, at least.

There doesn't appear to be a consistent leader between the two, so I would guess that neither causes the other; they are correllated because they are both related to the strength of the economy in general.

oops - from here admittedly biased source, but if the numbers are correct, it is an interesting trend.

It would be interesting to see those two parameters plotted against each other.

From the link:
Quote:
Auto sales peaked in 1985 (11 million) and have been declining at a fairly steady rate since 1999. In 2009, Americans bought just 5.4 million passenger cars. As a result, the median age of a registered vehicle in the U.S. is almost 10 years.
Maybe cars have just gotten so much better that they don't need to be replaced every three to five years.

Well, rising unemployment can lead to government stimulus packages, which would explain the correlation in 2008-2010. Man, those lines got ugly there, didn't they?

When recessions occur, unemployment goes up. A government that continues spending normally also goes up on that chart. A reduced GDP and unchanged government spending appears on that chart as increased government spending.

The chart would have to be deceptive. On that chart, both unemployment and government spending must go up when GDP goes down. Those trends report nothing useful or informative.
