Yes,i think its a bad crisis and we are only at the beginning......

fairly low unemployment is a relative term.........what is note worthy is that not only has the employment trend turned ...but it has turned at a faster rate than expected.

Re depression...i did go on to explain that economic depression is a vague term.....it being more a change in the state of mind of the consumer than a certain change in gdp and unemployment.
