59. Groundhog Day


From: Huffington Post, “Arianna Talks Economy, Jobs on ‘This Week’” 11/6/11

Arianna discussed the U.S.'s economic troubles on ABC's 'This Week With Christiane Amanpour.'
"There is a sense of a bit of Groundhog Day feeling," she said. "Every day, the first Friday of each month we get these jobs numbers and really nothing is fundamentally changing."

How would you explain to someone who is not North American what Huffington meant?
What synonym(s) would you suggest?

In this context, the meaning of Groundhog Day is used as in the movie Groundhog Day, wherein a situation in which events are or appear to be continually repeated
