Recession Humor: Heard a Good One Lately?
September 8th, 2009 by Chris HenryEconomic pundits may see signs the recession is easing, but that’s small comfort to Leah Figueras of Poulsbo, a dental assistant and single mother of two who was laid off in July. I wrote about Figueras as part of the Kitsap Sun’s Faces of the Recession series.
One of recommendations experts have folks like Leah for who are depressed over loss of a job is laughter. Well it seems we, as a nation, have found plenty of humor in widespread unemployment, home foreclosures and bank bailouts. In fact, it’s spawned a whole new industry.
Yes, it’s the great American way. When the going gets tough, we
go shopping
for T-shirts, coffee mugs and refrigerator magnets. We send
recession
humor greeting cards. And we drink from a no doubt collectible
recession humor pint glass.
Recession Beer Mug
We post slide shows with catchy sayings about the economy.
And we laugh at political
cartoons about the recession.
Bailout Sculpture
We all could use a good laugh. So post your favorite recession jokes here. Hey, “If I had 700 billion, I guess I could save the economy, too.”

Our country was also hit hard by the Economic Recession. At least we are seeing some signs of economic recovery now. I hope that we could recover soon from this recession.
