Funny how you run right over the unemployement figure....
What about the stock market surpassing 10k when last year at this date it was 2k-3k less.....
I understand that you are having a hard time finding a job... But unemployement is DOWN, not going UP, therefor these are positive signs, regardless of the holiday season even prior to that the economy was kicking.... U just have to read....
As I said those are good signs, but the economy isn't where it was at like it was 5 years ago. If I would have gotten my degree five years ago I would have had a job right out of college, but the IT industry, along with the rest of the economy, is still in a some what of a slump.
