HuffPost Readers Rename 'The Recovery Summer' -- Which Suggestion Is Your Favorite? (PHOTOS)

First Posted: 8/20/10   Updated: 5/25/11

Earlier this week, we asked HuffPost readers to come up with a more appropriate name for the last few months, which the Obama administration rather hopefully dubbed "The Recovery Summer."

(To suggest your own name for "The Recovery Summer" click here.)

With soaring jobless claims, seesawing leading indicators and growing concerns about a double-dip recession, we thought it was an ideal time to skip the political sloganeering. After sifting through responses from HuffPost readers, we've chose the best of the batch. We've also offered a quick bit of explanation about why we think each name is particularly apt.

Which HuffPost reader suggestion is your favorite? Check them out and vote below:

'Summer of Waiting"

With unemployment rates for workers age 16 to 19 at a whopping 26 percent, we thought this name was appropriate for the new labor force entrants who can't find jobs.
