All past recessions were followed by recoveries that were much better than this at a similar point in time. There were always solid growth numbers. This time no. The pieces are not in place for business to accept new risk, therefore our ' zombie recovery' will stagger on.

There are a lot more job openings being listed for IT professionals since the first of the year, but it's hard to say if they are actually hiring, which would loosen up some more jobs as they turn over. Lots of listings, not so many interviews yet. Companies have money but they are still mulling over the Obamacare impacts.
