There is the possibility of recovery. I won't count it out. Saying that unemployment is too high would not be a correct statement. Unemployment is a trailing indicator. As the economy turns down, employers postpone layoffs for as long as possible in hopes that the downturn will be mild or short. As the economy comes back up, employers wait to re-hire for fear that the upturn does not pan out or ends up not being robust.
There is good news and bad news out there. Early summer is typically a good time. People are out shopping in good weather, business is up, the sun brings back good spirits, etc. The question is: will it last? Early fall, particularly October, is always the worst time for the market. Can we power through? Or will it fizzle? No one knows.
