Ah, but I'd imagine a disproportionately large number of the unemployed may hang out in pubs, "drowning their sorrows" as the phrase goes. Just like going to the movies in the daytime. Leah

Considering that all the staff are employed, underage youth are usually not allowed in pubs and most retired people don't drink after business hours, 30% would be very high. I fairly agree with this statement, this is exactly what a lot of small to medium size American business owners were/are concerned in terms of how the bailout will help jumpstart their sales. The underlying problem is not the money, but demand for their services. Now you have received numerous potential job oppurtunities, which may not be a reliable sign of improvement, but you head to a pub on Friday night and if 7 out of 10 people you talk to has a job, then thats one. This is how I'll measure it :-) --- On Mon, 2/7/11, Dave Records <[email protected]> wrote: From: Dave Records <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [EDI-L] Re: <JOBS-OFF-TOPIC> Observation To: "edi list" <[email protected]> Date: Monday, February 7, 2011, 10:41 PM I have held the opinion for a while that corporations are sitting on money to see what the economy does, and that there is and will be a pent-up demand for services once they start loosening the purse strings. Now that I believe we are starting to finally see some signs of life, the purse strings are loosening up!
