Krugman- The Patient Is in Stable Condition

That’s the message of today’s jobs report. The economy is clearly adding jobs, even once you adjust for Census hiring and February snow. But not fast enough to make a dent in mass unemployment.

3. I'd think the more appropriate analogy - using medical terms -

would be 'guarded', not 'stable'.

5. I'd say "critical but stable"

meaning it's not likely to code in the next hour or so and some of the numbers on the monitors are getting slightly better.

One nasty bacterial spore landing on the patient can change things for the worse, though, just like one more scam running through the financial sector can screw up the nascent recovery. Critical care areas are kept as sterile as possible and strict protocols are followed to prevent infecting the patients. Unfortunately, we have thus far failed to enact the protocols that would protect us from financial scammers.
