Depends upon whether you are a conservative or a liberal....the liberal press has been screaming about the millions of jobs lost.....without noting how many MIGHT have been created......and, yes, you can look at personal income and stock market returns, too, to evaluate just how "bad" things are....IMHO

Actually, it depends if you are a software or electrical engineer. After thirty years in the trade last year was the only time in my life I was laid off and did without a job for four months. In Febuary I will be laid off once again. I know several software engineers who have been out of work for nearly a year.

Don't accuse me of not "staying up to date" like that GWB claims. I have four books shelves each seven feet tall laden with software engineering books. These are what kept me current during my career. I'm still on a steady reading diet. These jobs are indeed disappearing, so now we must start at the bottom of the heap in a career path that doesn't seem to exist anywhere.
