Housing Starts mixed in March + March State Unemployment Rates: New Record Highs in California, Florida, Georgia and Nevada

[mEDITate-OR:

not register that this is not a change - for better or worse...

 

What we are now seeing is an "L" shaped recovery.

 

While some things have bottomed out, some are not getting too much worse...

and some are showing U.S. a little life...

the overall picture is a "Japanese" style of recovery...

long..., hard..., and a LOT of pain...
