The correlation between Min wage increases and unemployment is non existent at best.

Also in European countries the unemployed still have their health care.

And you base this on what exactly?
It goes against all sound economic thinking that a price floor will not lead to economic distortions in ANY good - wages are not excepted.

Higher level workers have a big edge. If you have a lot of work experience, employers will probably look for you first. I work with software, and low end guys have no luck. Senior guys can still find a job pretty easily.

I guess he means the GDP is up, which is correct.
But GDP = C + G + I. Government has dramatically increased it's spending and encouraged people to consume more. That has nothing to do with productivity or a sustainable recovery. All it means you went deeper into debt.
