Loose translation: Wage slaves producing more than ever, for less money,
in feeble attempt to avoid having their jobs shipped overseas. 

In fairness, the unemployment rate is improving, but this has largely
been a "jobless recovery" -- companies may be making more money, but the
employees aren't seeing the benefits of it...

There's also this tidbit, buried at the bottom:

"But in the second quarter, military spending on the Iraq war — which
grew at a whopping 45.8 percent rate — helped to catapult economic
growth." 

Let's see if this "trickles down" to the folks who are busy looking for
work, or whether it translates into raises for the people who do have
jobs...
