Analysts Say Some Sectors Promise Relative Employment Security Even In Tough Times

Then, you can''''t say we are not in a recession. If you wait until the two full quarters are over, you find out that you were in a recession. The calculation for a recession tells you only after it has happened.

It''s pretty simple.

In a football game you win AFTER the time periods are over.

Same way with a recession it''s a recession after 6 months.

[Gary Kempf]

In general, hiring is expected to hold up in areas where consumers will keep spending money regardless of the health of the economy, such as at grocery stores, gasoline stations and repair shops.

Lets see people like to eat;
People need gas to go to work;
People are trying to repair what they can''t afford to replace.

terrorislamh,

Again, this is all linked. If both quarters are negative, we are in a recession. You only find out after it has happened.

Also, if you took the way they calculated inflation before they decided to change it, we''d already be in a recession.

So why should the rich and successful not leave for Mexico?

Mexico doesn''t want another Peso crisis, or perhaps thats the plan to get them into the Amero.

Now you think you''re Charlton Heston playing NRA demigod with the "cold dead hands" schtick? C''mon the guy read his reviews as Moses parting the Red Sea with a staff and thought he could make the Reds disappear by waving his press clippings. Haven''t you ever heard of "smart bombs?" So just stay right where you are....they will come and find you.

For decades people have hated the rich and successful and called them every name in the book.

So why should the rich and successful not leave for Mexico?

The only way that this isn''''t already a recession is that someone is cooking the FEDs books! ...
