intersting take on it.... "It will take time, and likely considerable more pain. We are nowhere near as in bad a shape as we were in the early 1990s, when unemployment was almost 8 percent, compared with less than 5 percent right now. I don't think we'll get there. The last recession coincided with a banking crisis and real estate sell-off, neither of which appear on the horizon right now. But more layoffs, in technology and financial services in particular, are definitely in the cards. " cbs.marketwatch.com
