Compared to when? The peak of that Clinton Bubble that you consider a normal economy? You will most likely never see that "normal" economy again in your lifetime. OTOH, lots of companies in the Silicon Valley area are doing nicely. fortune.com The county unemployment rate is 6.2% and has been falling. venturi-staffing.com It's below the state average. AND San Mateo Cunty is at 4.0%. venturi-staffing.com This is non-seasonally adjusted data. It shows Santa Clara County at 7.5%, with a statewide average of 6.1%. HOWEVER, it also shows San Mateo County at 4.7%. Not bad. dss.cahwnet.gov Had you been around this area for any length of time, what is occurring now wouldn't look so unusual to you. There have been plenty of times when good, experienced degreed engineers as well as new graduates couldn't get jobs. Boom and bust is a normal thing in the electronics industry. After the wild insanity of the '90s, a period of bust is simply to be expected.

What are you comparing current times to? March of 2000? And if the economy truly was tanking like you claim it is, do you think housing would be going up at 5% per Q, in Manhattan apartment prices in Q2? Or in the lofty valuations on the west coast? if we have a real recovery I am sure the markets will do well with companies guiding higher and all that We have had companies guiding higher.....maybe just not YOUR companies.
