I'll reiterate what I've said in other threads: employment numbers are a trailing indicator, markets are a leading indicator.
We'd have to look at a third set of indicators that are happening right now. Should we be looking at those instead of what is expected to happen in the future and what has resulted because of the past?
The employment numbers are more a reflection of 2008/2009 than 2010. What about right now?
