1. Is there an intended irony

in the concluding paragraph to this NYT's piece that I'm missing? With two unemployed, and one underemployed kids(s), today's (quaintly described) "predicament" seems pretty damned serious to this chile - Ms Bigmack

"However severe, our current predicament seems mild compared to the calamitous unemployment of the early 1930s. Hence, average Americans, mystified by the complexities of finance today, still await a new season of financial reform."
