Employment is still a problem, but the majority of the other indicators are looking up. History has shown that employment figures are a lagging indicator, so hopefully by next april or may this will turn around as well

Not to be snippy about it, but this "lagging indicator" stuff is getting a little tired. Supposedly this recession ended over a year ago, but the unemployment numbers are still "lagging" while everything else is just hunky-dory.

At this rate the unemployment numbers will be "lagging" right into the next recession. Sheesh.
