Really. People in the US would be very happy with this chart, though the longer term chart is shouting plenty of questions about global economic reaity.(If you don't wanna cut and paste just go to chart and look at several time periods, also click the comparison with US index and check that out.) Gotta wonder if there's a Dept of Economic Spin.
