What is going on with the economy?

I do not feel like I have good perspective on what a normal recovery looks like, but most of what I read seems to show mixed results. I keep reading about projections being consistently off.

I feel as though there is a fundamental shift going on in the labor market. I think it is a long term trend. I think we are going to see more transient employment and more contracting. I think we will also see fewer benefits. Here is another article about the economy.

If we are seeing a long term change in employment. What is the role of government if these trends do exist, if they intensify?
