Despite the government’s claim that the recession technically ended in the Summer of 2009, anyone with half a brain can read most leading economic indicators and tell you we’re hardly out the woods yet. Among those harrowing figures is the weekly new claims for jobless benefits, which was down to about 445,000 claims last week. That’s trending in the right direction, but it still means roughly a half a million people filed for unemployment for the first time. No matter how you spin that, it’s not a good thing.
