How does the current recovery compare to those of the past? The following charts from the Council on Foreign Relations [8] puts the current (un)recovery in context and despite some apparently bright news recently, the pictures underline the economy's weakness since the NBER's recovery began in June 2009.
The x-axis shows the number of months since the end of the recession. The dotted lines are composites of prior recoveries representing the weakest and strongest experiences of the past.

By the committee's methodology, the current recovery began in June 2009.
