I don't believe in the double-dip. I don't believe we ever emerged from the recession. How could we, with 10% national unemployment? It only points out that when corps lay people off, their numbers perk up. We really need a citizen-centered means of measuring recessions. Small business people are focused on the economy like a laser! Their survival depends on it. They do most of the hiring IN the total economy. If THEY think it's going down, it's going DOWN - because they aren't planning to hire anyone.
