The Recession Will End in September

Then again, maybe it won’t, especially not if another major financial institution collapses. And if the economy does rebound, the recovery will be mild. USA Today sums up the clear-as-mud results of its economic outlook index, which factor in things like the stock market’s current bull market status. Another predictor says that home prices are expected to continue to drop for some time to come. So who knows what in the world is going to happen. One thing seems fairly certain: It won’t be easy to get a job anytime soon, so perhaps there’s something to these job-hunter’s attention-getting gimmicks, including washing cars in a company’s parking lot and sending a cake with your picture and business card info on it. Some poor punster even sent a company a shoe as a way to “get his foot in the door.”
