First, the economy is NOT tanking. It is slowing down (there is plenty of evidence of a "soft patch").

Second, employment trails the economy. We usually see strong hiring right up to the beginning of a recession. So it is not an indicator of the future.

Third, I don't think the economy will "tank" until the speculative bubble in housing breaks. That might be this year, maybe next year. I think sooner rather than later - no one knows!
