The government is always saying that we are pulling out of this recession, and that the job market is taking a turn for the better. We hear it every day in the news, but rarely are there any significant figures to back up the claims. Sure, an unemployment rate of 8.8 percent is still enough to make the average American wince in agony at the seeming hopelessness of our economic situation, but its better than where we have been. And adding hundreds of thousands of new jobs to help that 8.8 percent is always promising, as well. So finally, some good news that doesn't seem like a bunch of over-exaggeration by the government - this post taken from the New York Times suggests that things may in fact be looking up, and that there may be a small glimpse of hope in this struggle for recovery.
