Are we coming out of this recession?

According to a Wall Street Journal article today... wall street journal

By BRIAN BLACKSTONE WASHINGTON -- U.S. job losses softened markedly last month, sending one of the strongest signals yet that the severe recession may be winding down.

That said we still have 17 months of joblosses on the books matching a record set in 1981- 1982.

We have a way to go to climb out of this recession an I will take this "slowing" of the job loss as one sign we are reaching the "turning point."

Job Loss by month

January 2009 - 741,000
February 2009 - 681,000
March 2009 - 652,000
April 2009 - 504,000
May 2009 - 345,000

I always like to share when I find news that is good. Count your blessings today if you are one of the ones with a job.
