There has been no recovery. There has been nothing but spin. It will get worse.

[hapy]

what will get worse the job market or the spin?

[pissant]

Get a grip. The economy even in Seattle is starting to simmer. The Northwest took it in the shorts with the collapse of the over-inflated Tech sector.

With a 3rd quarter 8.2 GDP growth, someone is creating wealth. Who might that be? Maybe the construction industry (wood products, concrete, window manufacturer's, electricians, etc.) the software industry (Microsoft is doing fine), Aerospace (Boeing is profitable again).

The US economy is the most Dynamic in the world. Industries rise & industries fail. The same doom and gloomers were bitching during the early to mid eighties when companies were axing people and restructuring. Yet Reagan's unshackling of the business community led to a 18 year boom cycle.

I hope as we enter this new boom cycle, the critics will settle down and get a job that makes 'em happy.
