I do agree that low interest rates have helped fuel growth, but I'm not convinced that it's played that big of a role.

If we look at Europe and Japan, despite the historically low interest rates, they haven't exactly been a beacon of innovation in the last decades. In fact, the US and China have eaten most of their market share.

This article on The Economist talks about that:

I think the US has cultural advantages when it comes to innovation and funding, and I don't see this changing anytime soon.

I think you are mistaking things because I didn't even mention growth.

You're also saying that just because the US and China have done better than Europe, that means that QE has not had a measurable effect on the job market?

I'm sorry, but it looks to me as if you're strawmanning becasue your reply is barely adjacent to the points I was trying to make.
